148. Setting Reasonable Expectations in Intimate Relationships

Do you ever hold back in asking for what you want in your relationship because you’re not sure if your expectations are reasonable? I hear this all the time. And while I sometimes think that people do have unrealistic expectations of their intimate relationships, I also think that we’re asking the wrong question.

In this episode, we discuss: 

• A few guiding principles for understanding and communicating your expectations

• How to be more thoughtful about how you communicate and negotiate getting your needs met

• The two types of partnership issues and how to address them

• Differentiating between needs and strategies for a more satisfying relationship
