In my own experience, and in my work with my clients I find that one of the biggest ways we break our hearts is our own expectations. One of the biggest causes of relationship and marriage breakdown is ‘expectation’ - or more accurately ‘unmet expectations’. One of the biggest causes of struggle in our lives is our (unmet) expectations - usually unfair expectations that we project onto others. When we believe people ‘should’ behave or act, or a situation in the life ‘should’ unfold as certain way we know that our expectations are at work. And the word ‘should’ is a very clear indication of that. Shakespeare said it so well when he said ‘Expectation is at the root of all heartache’. In this episode I explore - my own interpretation of what ‘expectations’ actually are- the difference between expectations, boundaries, deal breakers, standards, red flags in relationship - how expectations can show up in our lives, love and relationships Love,Ané[email protected]www.datingcoach.uk
