"Oh, mom." I can imagine that... lol
But I think I would be settling if I keep my expectations too low, because deep down, I know what I actually expect at the very least, so maybe I communicate it sometimes. In a kind and considerate manner, though. What's funny is that people don't even see things from our lenses and probably never realise things until they're told.
This is true. We don't all think the same way and what is important to one person, isn't necessarily important to another. That said, I've been with my husband for over 30 years now and we communicate and discuss our needs regularly. He rarely remembers what doesn't pertain to him personally, however (autism spectrum apparently). If I don't ask something of him he won't think to do it, but if I remind him when he forgets I'm at risk of nagging. 🤣 He gets there slowly, however, when it becomes important to him
Woah. 30 years?? Respect and lovely!
😂
I understand better now. You know yourselves so well, and it's so admirable. Love is patience among similar things, you know. Thank you for sharing wisdom.
