Respected & Connected: Create a More Intimate, Collaborative Relationship

148. Setting Reasonable Expectations in Intimate Relationships


Listen Later

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
