I tell them. No use of lying and having to deal with it. I think all people should understand it if their partner just generally doesn’t vibe with a character. Accommodations should be held, that’s why we have communication.
 
It really depends on the degree and reasons for disliking, as well as what point the RP is at.

As with most things of course, communication is the first step. It something is bothering you, it’s generally a good idea to discuss it. You might just find that the other person is willing to accommodate or else find some other solution or compromise with the partner’s cooperation.

This is especially true if you’re still in the character making phase of the RP. That is the right time to make character adjustments so it’s also the best time to discuss potential issues and solve them before anything is already “official” in terms of the RP.

If you're past the character phase then the question shifts to why and to what extent you dislike the character. If it's something I really can't stand and no reconciliation can be found, then it may be time to leave the RP. If it's just a minor thing you dislike about the character and you otherwise enjoy them, then even if it's not something which can reasonably be changed, you can still try to bring less emphasis to it and tolerate it when it does show up. This is especially important when the part you dislike is an explicit flaw and portrayed as such (this part is quite important I'd say. Character flaws are meant to be overcome and to be a bad aspect of the character).
 
In a group RP I've certainly made my concerns known if someone's character sheet was off in one way or another. As a GM I've also differed to the most relevant person in the RP to say whether or not there were any notable contradictions or issues that might effect the flow. And in less cases I've just straight up told people to fuck off, which is reserved if they don't ever seem to get the picture
