Never expect :

1. Them to “complete” you or fix your happiness*

Your partner can add to your joy, but they’re not responsible for your self-esteem, healing, or filling every emotional void.  

Support while _you_ do your own inner work. You’re two whole people choosing each other, not two halves.

2. Them to read your mind

No matter how close you are, they won’t magically know what you need if you don’t say it. Silent treatment + “if you loved me you’d know” = frustration.  

3. Them to never find anyone else attractive*

Attraction is human. Noticing someone cute doesn’t equal disrespect or cheating. What matters is boundaries and actions.  

4. Them to agree with you on everything

You’ll have different opinions on food, movies, politics, money, even small stuff like how to squeeze toothpaste,how to fold clothes and so on.

5. Them to be your everything 24/7

They can’t be your partner + best friend + therapist + mum + gist partner + hobby buddy all at once. That’s too much pressure.  

Expect Loyalty,Honesty,Love, Respect and them choosing you everyday not Perfection.
