Why Assumptions Hurt Agreements in Relationships...

Whether we feel if we took these traditional gender roles that have been established over time away from our minds, would that actually improve our relationships or would it actually reduce our relationships? What do you think? My take is that I feel the conditioning of previous gender roles is what creates confusion. so the expectation that he should pay on the first date or the expectation that we should share bank accounts or the expectation that you should provide and I'll do this, it reduces the conversation that needs to happen because we make assumptions. And when you're making assumptions, you're no longer having agreements. If you didn't have assumptions, you get the opportunity to make agreements and say, let's talk about this. Let's discuss it. Today we don't discuss, we don't talk, we don't conversate. We have expectations.
