good post. Woe to us all for the expectations, especially the unspoken ones...they seem to bite us all in the butts. And when we realize OTHERS expectations of US, it really hurts to realize we had no idea what our "role in their play" was this whole time. Lots of asking "wth??"
Super important to LOSE ALL EXPECTATIONS and even if you reconcile, Express the expectations, don't keep them to yourself or you'll set her/you up for failure.
I heard someone smart once say, "Ask 100% of the time for 100% of what you want, and be prepared to negotiate the difference."
