@SL2 news for you , married life is full of expectations , and it is contract to fulfill each others expectation and when kids are born another set of expectations get mixed in the expectations. You are not buying a pet , you are getting married to a human they have right to have expectations from you and you from them.
When you celebrate birthdays , anniversaries , valentines you show your love to your partner and love is what marriage is all about.
I can write a thesis but I am sure others are coming soon to add to this thesis of married life.

And yes this posts of your come across written by some eccentric person.

I think excessive expectations are bad surely? If you go in with a clean sheet with relatively few expectations, surely the chances of disappointment are less? (I guess the arranged marriage is based on this foundation)
I don’t mind basic expectations that are obvious (not cheat, lies etc) but when expectations are large, and aren’t fulfilled, then they get broken and leads to unhappiness.

As I said, I don’t mind celebrating bdays etc, but I would rather expectations not be set and celebrate them in a way that I think may be fun, rather than there being a bunch of expectations and me not having the foggiest what those may be.
