Re: Unrealistic Expectations

excellent reply.

Having your partner support you is not at all unrealistic, having them agree with what you need support for EVERY time however, is.

Unrealistic -

Expecting your partner to know how you feel or think without you having to tell them. No one can read minds.

Thinking that they will always make you happy, they can only try.

Hoping you won’t ever argue, impossible.

Expecting them to agree with everything you do, unreasonable.

Feeling that everything should go your way without you having to compromise, selfish.

Realistic -

Having them be there for you.

Enjoying the company of your partner, having a laugh, sharing good times and the bad.

Building trust and remembering that communication is the key.

Appreciating them and not taking them for granted, and reminding them to do the same back.

Accepting them for who they are and vice versa.
