What's something you used to believe about relationships, but no longer do? (Page 2)

Question

*Common myths or misconceptions?*  When I was younger, I used to believe that if your partner truly loved you, they knew your feelings or needs (they were able to read you like a book).  Obviously, I knew it was false, but the idea that your partner being able to read your body language and nonverbal cues was desirable.  I learned that being direct and upfront about your needs and feelings is SO important in a relationship, because not everyone can understand exactly what you’re feeling or needing.
