While your partner must take care of their own needs, they should make a constant effort to show you they care about you.
People with anger issues lash out and yell, even insulting you and hitting things. As soon as you notice major anger issues, it's time to hit the road.

If your partner is rude, your relationship will suffer as they create embarrassing situations in public. You'll feel bad!

A pessimistic attitude and outlook in a romantic partner will affect you and bring you down. This can be toxic.

Any sort of abuse is an automatic relationship deal-breaker. Whether this is physical, verbal, or emotional abuse, it should never be tolerated.
Conflict is a natural part of a relationship. However, you should be able to communicate with each other and resolve any disputes in a healthy and productive way. If not, then it's a deal-breaker.
