I don't get anything from my husband that I don't give to him.
Ok that wording seems confusing. I basically mean I get what I give.
Some people just want too much and don't want to try to do anything for the other person in the relationship.
It's s two way street the way I see things.
It is definately a 2 way street. If you have high expectations, then you need to be prepared to richly reward someone for meeting those high expectations. You need to recognize someone with those high expectations.
So a women who is tired of douchbag guys, and wants someone to always be there for her, and just go out of their way all the time for her, BETTER check her friendzone. If she ignores them, then she has no right to have high expectations.
Glad you have a healthy relationship with your husband. I hope you two can live happily together for the rest of your lives
Nobody is perfect. I figure we find someone we can enjoy being around, the rest can fall into place. Expectations only lead to disappointments anyway.
Underlined part is BS. Unreasonable expectations, and Expectations you do not try to enforce, lead to disappointment. If you expect your roommate to pick up his trash, then if you just sit there and dont say anything, then you will be disappointed. If you just mention it sometimes, then you will be disappointed.
If you go and make it a big deal, and bug him and pressure him to do it, then you will get your expectations met. If you do not properly reward for him meeting your expectations met, then he will not keep those expectations.
Also you need to have your own life in order first, to get those expectations met. If you just sit around with your trash, and expect him to get his trash, then you will not get anywhere haveing your expectations met.
To the OP. There are men like that as well. But not all women are like that.
