because i don’t know where is the difference:(
Re: hmmmm
I am gonna ask a related question
Do you think its fair for someone to expect from the other person what they put into a relationship? I.e. epect the other partner to go against someone because thats exactly what you would or expect the other person to respond to what you want the same way you would to their needs and wants.
Re: hmmmm
I expect to be respected.
Re: hmmmm
^^couldnt have said it any better 
Re: hmmmm
Like Saby said, expectations should be kept at a minimal. Now its easier said than done. And from my own personal experience, do not trust someone whey they tell you , you can have expectations from them. I got burnt, bad. I think it is a life long process : its going to take time to not expectations from anyone at all. But its going to be well worth. Or so I belive. Also, as much as I want to agree with Sadaf, I dont. To me there is no difference between hope and expecs. I would rather be stringy with my hopes/expecs and not get hurt again.
Or so I think. And Allah knows best.
Re: hmmmm
Most of the times, I don't expect anything, I just try to give. And when I do get something, it feels so great because I wasn't expecting it and it happens to be a surprise. Trust me, it's better to be giving, than expecting because when expectations are not reached, you get hurt :)

Re: hmmmm
well it depends.. girls are more valuable, so its natural for them to have expectations, guys think universe revolves around them, and wifey is part of it, so they matters for granted, their expectations are present , but are less..
let me give u an example.. (typically,desi mentality in mind, all variables according to society) girl grows up, and continously is bashed upon how she has to learn cooking, dress well, be patient, sacrifice her needs for others..all this for what..to make her mizaaji khuda happy…
guy grows up, picks every bad habit, yet is not scolded and said “mard ki SHAAN main hay ye karna”..
these two get married for example.. girl,having to keep up with all the bull$hit till this point, OBVIOUSLY wants to get the result of ALL THIS ..
mr ‘man’ on the other hand is just thinking..“chiching! ghar wali ye, baahir waali wo”
level of expectations? MAN should be MAN ENOUGH, and DISCUSS..TALK and UNDERSTAND his wife.. wife had problems enough left rite and center PRIOR to come to his house.. woman has to understand things like…“friday night, boys WILL be boys” (after marriage u spend less time with friends that were there before marriage and were (chota hee sahi) part of life..
anyway… thats my theory.. relationship, ANY relationship, be at marriage or friendship, professional or informal, fails, because both parties dont COMMUNICATE their thoughts to others

Re: hmmmm
Okay I hope (not expect) this helps u guys to differenciate between hope and expectation.
HOPE - grounds for believing that something good may happen: he does see some hope for the future.
EXPECTATION - a belief that someone will or should achieve something: students had high expectations for their future.
Re: hmmmm

Aik dafa ka jala dobara jalna nahi chahta naa, whether it be expec from your family/friends or anyone else.
