In the last podcast, I answered the question people ask me all the time, “Is it okay to have expectations?”
I came up with 6 expectations that are reasonable to have in a partnership. But it’s also important for us to discuss when it’s not okay or when it’s a bad idea to have expectations.
I came up with 8 big ones that I DO NOT recommend.
The biggest one is expecting someone else to live according to your values. Ouch. People do this one all the time, including me! Doah!
Check out this podcast to hear the other 7.
