In a relationship, we have our own sets of needs, wants and expectations. However, the expectations we have in a relationship should be reasonable. “You are allowed to have expectations- and should have expectations- in your relationship. Expecting to get diamonds every anniversary? Well, that’s not a fair expectation. Expecting your partner will know what you’re thinking about being told? Also not a fair expectation. But wishing you’d receive some comfort when you’re sad? That’s a fair expectation (and a need),” wrote Psychotherapist Emily H Sanders.(Unsplash)
