That's why it's much easier to just say what you want sometimes. It's alot faster and takes the guess work and disappointment out of the equation.
Funny, to me, this has been the most difficult part of the process - recognizing and saying what I want.
I don't know if always it's so much that we just expect the other person 'to just know what we want'. I think a lot of us grow up thinking that it's a selfish, negative thing to have needs at all, let alone voicing to another person what they are.
But I agree that if you can get yourself to a place where you have enough self-worth to be able to voice what you want, it makes life and relationships a whole lot easier.
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
