(I don't even know if I'm making sense right now)
Do you think you expect too much from your boyfriend or girlfriend?
(I don't even know if I'm making sense right now)
Shacking up and sharing a apartment is not the same as a real commitment. I'm going to use the word commitment because the word relationship can mean just about anything on this site. We call a two week together as a relationship at some sites and at others they are asking us to tell them they they are in one. Relationship, nowadays does not imply commitment which is the main ingredient. It turns dating for two years into thought of a life time together. And marriage is a public sign, a contract that we commitment to love one over any other partner forever, Love their children and to stick it out in bad times for the sake of the other. Back to you question. What a couple expect of each other in your secnerio may simply be to watch a certain show with pizza you made. If there are too high expect ions you need to look at yourself. Would I remind him again but for the sake of the couple get it done.. Iys a shame to be in the dark and when he come home you start with 'I knew you could do it. You would just forget to pay the power bill today". Basically your saying I'm so smart I knew the electrical would be turned off and we would be in the dark and sweating". I knew it so I purposefully gave you a job you will fail. Think about the expectations you have and are they realistic. for him or her,
My expectations are high because I want someone who will be compatible with me for life. You have to take a lot into consideration when you consider a possible lifelong commitment so no my expectations are pretty fair.
me the same as you
I have fairly high expectations, but not unreasonable. When my husband and I first started dating he had a crappy, low paying job he hated, he lived at home and he was terrible with money. After we had been together a few years his mother actually told me she was so worried when we started dating, that he would either rebel against my standards or that they would emasculate him and kill his confidence. Thankfully she was surprised as he completely rose to meet every single one, he just needed a push, some advice, support and someone to believe that he was capable of better things and he nailed it. Not only that he pushes me just as hard now, and we’ve grown into better people because of it.
I agree there is a line and there are definitely people who are never satisfied with someone no matter how much effort they put in. But being complacent with what’s handed to us rarely lives up to our potential, and the only people losing is us so I’ll always want to do the best I can and hold my husband to those same standards too
so right
I definitely do not expect much from my boyfriend, at least that he is unaware of. Everything kind of fell in place from the beginning.
Sometimes I do catch myself expecting him to do certain things, because I feel that he has the potential for it. When it comes to that, I try to voice my opinion/suggestion, but I do not force him ever.
us guys are only human
My boyfriend and i are in a long distance relationship and sometimes I do feel like I expected too much attention from him as he has a family and he needs his free time and he works a lot he knows that I love him and that I want his attention and he tries his best but sometimes I feel like I ask him for too much of his time
l understand
Definitely not, I reckon my expectations are actually far lower than they should be, that's probably why I really don't want to be in a relationship right now.
are you a Flash fan?
your description in profile indicates so😛
@Halucinator no the description is actually taken from this song.

How about when you respond to their failures with so much self improvement that women out of her league are trying to snake you from her... yet she still wants to just be fat, let guys talk to her, and not put any effort into the two of you as a couple?
Simply put I see no effort put forth into a relationship as a big red flag with shit stains on it because they're too lazy to go buy more toilet paper, wipes, or invest in a bidet.
No. Since I love to talk, and I'm pretty masterful with my mother tongue, she shouldn't either. I'm very clear about my needs and desires before we are emotionally connected. I ask the same in return so that either or both of us can skidaddle before outrageous expectations can become an impediment.
It’s a two way street! I am constantly working on my life. Improving and growing as a person, setting new goals and challenges. I am yet to find a guy who does it with the same dedication and effect.
well l do l take good care of my self l look 45 and it has a great affect on the girls that l date
I don't have expect much from my boyfriend but my some of my friends and his friends high standard and he hates when female go off crazy mood swings. Nothing wrong with my boyfriend.
ldont like girls that have daft mood swings
Honestly I don't think giving back every once in a while is too much to ask for... Don't go for fixer uppers - my fatal mistake😓
I think I develop high hopes, but it has more to do with my compulsion to plan ahead and work towards a bigger picture. I want good things for my S/O.
so true
I don't need to expect anything of him he expects enough of himself, and says he's proud of everything I've accomplished so I think we are all good
very cool
I don't really expect him to do much. Just be himself and to be honest with me... And have good hygiene.
so true
I think my boyfriend and I both have reasonable expectations of each other.
