I was expecting a crazy night when I got home from IC, but nothing happened.
Do work to keep your expectations dialled down. Unmet positive expectations lead to resentment. And negative expectations, even those that do not come about, cause stress and worry.
Expectations color one’s world. Folks unwittingly behave differently when expecting something negative or resentful which causes/influences a self fulfilling prophecy type scenario.
Instead of expectations, what about hope, or act as if, or the affect of your positive influence. Could you hope to come home to a calm household? I suspect how you’d enter through the doorway would be different when not expecting crazy.
Do plan for the worst, hope for better, and deal with what is before you.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
