@drwendywalsh: Modern couples expect a lot from each other — love, support, friendship, growth, passion… all in one person. And when those expectations aren’t met? Relationships strain. Studies show that while divorce rates have declined since the 1980s, low relationship satisfaction is still a leading cause of breakups. ✨ Want to build a stronger, more realistic connection?

higher societal expectations are a result of a society sick with; low self esteem, optionality, perfectionism and trying to survive… outcome; individual main character syndrome and faithlessness cognitive dissonance

Amazing amazing amazing !!! please address the sense of entitlement some feel is their right without contradiction in a relationship… it’s frightening the amount of people who believe “they are the kitchen table” then demand to know what I’m going to bring to the table

I'm sorry but expecting a man to contribute to a rship isn't high expectations!

Marriages and outdated contract. There’s really no point in getting married anymore unless you’re going to have children. If you’re not having children then just live together.

I think wat most people want is just a partner who tries to understand where theyre coming from… and yes its rare

A pulse, easy smile, easy laugh, and comfortable with her sexuality.

This could be good advice for someone yearning for children …. But I rather run the risk of not having children and marry only if I am in love enough to get married.

I have a better idea. Seek out the one that’s seeking a higher love then accept them for who they are.

You're absolutely right about this. I was thinking about this the other day and it seems that everybody is just holding out for perfection and they're leaving their current situations for somebody they think is going to be perfect or at least for them. when I met my wife 23 years ago, we just figured we'd make it work.. 23 years later, and she wants divorce! what is the man to do now?

Expectations are way to high. Even as a divorced man approaching retirement I find woman to be very fussy and have high expectations. Dating just isn’t fun. No way I’ll ever marry again.

I'd say women's expectations are higher men. they pretty much will be happy with most things

Great message. Reasonable comments. But imagine the women’s response if a man had said this. At some point or another, I have commented these points in good faith, and have found anger and a plethora of sexist comments. Women need to let men (not the assholes) in to this conversation

Davie :
Sooooo women should just settle? Asking for a true partner is not too much to ask. I would rather stay single than put up with a manchild. The type of scare tactic you are using is exactly what pushed me to settle and marry my ex-husband. That obviously didn’t go well….
