Glad I came by to visit your thread.Wow! The stuff on expectations is great! I know that I had way too many expectations of my H, including that he would be the 'perfect' man/H and that he was supposed to make me happy.
Looking back I see how unrealistic and unfair it was. I don't know if we can or should live in a R or M without some expectations. But I agree with another poster that having positive expectations helps.
I think lowering them also helps. I intend to re-read the posts on your thread on this.
You seem to be doing really well. Keep it up, and thanks for checking up on me.
