Are You Sabotaging Your Relationship?


 Comeback Story Counseling in Loveland writes:

There is a silent saboteur in all relationships, and the most insidious aspect is how it disguises itself as an essential prerequisite for intimacy and happiness.

I'm talking about expectations. And especially unspoken expectations.

We all hope for certain things in our most intimate relationships, like little signs along the way that tell us we're with the right person, we're truly loved and appreciated, we can be happy. You certainly couldn't not desire your partner's commitment, affection, and sacrifice. But the ways and the insistence in which we expect their sacrifice has a powerful impact on our ability to enjoy the relationship, and appreciate the person.
