In our Indian culture, true love is total submission to each other and so there are no expectations. Everything is ours and we understand each other without even a word. My husband and I have attended this relationship – it is just like spiritual unity. The truth is it is hard to know what to expect from a man or woman in a love relationship, because standards and expectations goes changing every moment in order to discern between men or women that are serious about you and the ones that are not.
Any relationship can be fun, exploratory, loving and nurturing, but it can get irritating, stressful and dissatisfying really quickly if the relationship does not live up to your expectations. The first and basic expectation is Be Honest with each other. And not being honest lead to disappointment, hurt and anger.
Usually every girl expects her man to be more emotional, with the same amount of empathy, emotions, and vulnerability forever. Instead of trying to change your partner, they need to change their approach. Girls and guys expect their partner to be perfect, but funny enough we all know that there is no such thing as a perfect human being. He or she may not be perfect, but she or he may be perfect for you.
Even if you do not expect anything from the relationship, I can assure you that you at least expect one thing, and that is – happiness, his/her presence, behavior, and actions stimulate you into happiness. But your happiness has to come from within yourself and is ultimately your job. No one is in control of your emotions but yourself.
There are five love languages, gifts, words of appreciation, acts of service, physical touch, and quality time. Therefore, the challenge lies in finding out the primary love language of your partner and yourself and to teach each other how to provide it. While compatibility is my main focus in relationship, both the partners needs to learn to compromise many things with each other.
Respect is the first one definitely goes without saying that is you should expect respect from your partner. Different people show affection in different ways. Therefore, you should discuss what adequate affection – may it be kissing, holding hands or cuddling - is important to you for building a deep bond. There is nothing like quality time spent together, it is the great way to discuss your expectations around time, which will lead to a more satisfactory relationship. Every good relationship faces challenges; it is unavoidable. Challenges lead to growth, but so will as well vulnerability, shared experiences and love.
Believe it or not everybody have a set of expectations before they even get into the relationship. The problem arises when these expectations are not verbalized and instead only exist in their head. Even though unspoken expectations of any form are hard to fulfill, it gets even worse if your partner does not meet those that were unrealistic from the beginning.

Lots of things. The most important to make me happy in a love relationship is- trust, communication, respect, honesty.
Someone who wants to make me as happy as I want to make them. Someone who will fight for the relationship. Someone who will communicate openly-be willing to resolve conflict that may arise.
Someone who is able to say sorry and give you a hug when they make a mistake. A person that will listen to my thoughts and feelings.
Someone who I am able to be myself with talk about anything with and have a laugh and be happy with. Someone who has the same values as I do someone who is just nice and caring
Well there's probably over 500 different types of love. And if or when you love somebody or I love somebody it's unconditionally and if I'm in a relationship it's a 50/50 deal so the only thing I expect is the keep my 50% happening and make it the best 50% I possibly can that's all I can do I can't tell anybody else what to do I don't expect anything except for hopefully they put their 50% in if I expect something and it doesn't happen then that's kind of disappointing so all I can do is make my 50% happen and hopefully everything will fall into place
