Hi HS - The expectations stuff will get you in all aspects of life, I found.
Quote: 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.
Yes, me too. This has been an incredible journey for myself - to learn to accept people for who they are not who I want them to be. Its a lesson that seems to require frequent revision though. Just as things go well, my expectations creep back up and the the whole cycle starts again. Ugh
I guess it took 40 years for the habit of escalating expectations to gain ground, I should plan on the next couple of years to 'unlearn' this habit.
