Quoting lostlove:am I expecting too much??? I don't think so.
Well, I don't think so, honestly. You deserve a fulfilling, nurturing R with a H that is loving and expressive. But is it a realistic expectation for HIM to be like that right at this moment? Or even two weeks from now? Two months from now?
I don't know the answer to that. Many would just decide to give up, as it is indeed a very hard task for your H become the way you say you want. That is why we have WAW. But is it really the answer to D and find the next guy that is so much like in your dream for the rest of the lives, while providing, plowing, wood-chopping, loving and caring for you and your kids within the next two months? I am sure you will get lots of coffee for sure, as we all know LL is an attractive woman in the bookstore. You will definitely meet lots of good and sensitive men's attention. But for a R for the rest of the lives without ups and downs? I am a bit skeptical. Not to mention that your now H is the father of your kids, and you do love him.
So I guess that it is not the expectations themselves need adjustments: you deserve every right to be loved and cared in the way you want. But just in terms of setting realistic goals in your R in a reasonable time frame in the way you get it, that is something to think about.
