Expectations are unavoidable.
The only thing u can do is remind yourself that not everyone is like u
or think/assume things the way u do
and then convince yourself very hard to accept it.

After that, all u need is the will power to not show the disappointment you've been put through.
If u can do that -- r/s are a piece of cake.

Love is all encompassing.
In theory only.

Nothing is perfect.
Not even the closest or most loving/giving r/s.
The key to it is the ability to still see the love even when things go wrong.
To remember how she was there for u, the things she'd do only for u...
To appreciate and rejoice in the beauty of your loved one.

If u can do that when you're fighting, then u'd be ok.
Often tho, we only regret after loosing it -- that is the main irony of life.

When we love someone deeply -- there are always greater expectations, thus shorter fuses and greater disppointments.
Maybe it's time to take a step back and ask yourself -- it is u whom u love more?

Do you love becos u need the person?
Or do you need the person 'cos u love her.

I need my love always
but sometimes I wonder is it more for my sake?
Or hers?
I'd like to think I would give her anything and everything.
Amd I think I can.
But I would expect the same back.
That's when problems arise.
It goes both ways.

Tell me what u feel.
I wanna know what you feel always.
Well, it's not always a good idea.
Emotions are irrational, to be tempered by the mind.
Often though the mind is not strong enuff.

Appreciate
Forgive
Love with all you've got

That's all anyone can do.
