Unrealistic Expectations in Relationships #shorts

Sometimes people get divorced because they have unrealistic expectations of their partners. I'll give you a few examples of mine. One, I expected him to read my mind, know how I felt, and divine what I wanted. Two, I had really high standards that were pretty much impossible to meet, and I expected him to be perfect. Come on. And the third one was that I expected him to change. I felt it was my duty to make him into whoever I wanted him to be, except that that wasn't his path. So when we set unrealistic expectations for ourselves and our partners, we basically set ourselves up for failure. Instead, I would recommend trying this: 1. Foster open communication. 2. Aim to resolve conflicts constructively. And 3. Encourage and support each other's personal development and growth.
