I agree. that's why i think you should not settle for suboptimal people.

I would work on my own rather than compromising

Precisely the key, you need in my opinion:

1. Someone you can trust 2. Someone you’re not afraid to speak up with or against, without fear of repercussion personally within reason (ie, if you call each other crap every day, you’re not a good match most of the time)
