Expectations often become the cause of quarrels and breakups in couples.
We create an idealized image of a partner and then unconsciously demand that they live up to it. When the real person fails to meet these expectations, resentment arises.
HOW TO LEARN TO BUILD DIALOGUE INSTEAD OF VOICING COMPLAINTS
Expectations arise involuntarily. We automatically "endow" our partner with qualities we desire. During the period of falling in love, it seems that they fully embody them.
But when the euphoria fades, we discover that they cannot read our minds and that they have their own self.

The wider the gap between the ideal and reality, the deeper the disappointment.
The main mistake people make is believing in telepathy. We expect our partner to intuitively understand our desires, and if they do not — then it must mean they do not love us.
This leads to silent resentments and misunderstandings. Healthy relationships are built on dialogue, not on guesswork.
I recommend sharing expectations, double-checking goals, and not being afraid to ask questions.
By shifting the focus onto ourselves, we can understand why our partner’s behavior triggers irritation. Conscious, articulated expectations become a source of support rather than a destructive force in a relationship.

Expectations are not the enemy of relationships.
The enemy is the blind belief that they should come true on their own.
Conscious, openly discussed, and jointly constructed expectations are a compass that helps a couple move in the same direction — not a mine that blows them apart from within.
