Realistic expectations you can put on your relationship

It is acceptable to expect few things in a relationship

We expect many things from a relationship because of which we even get disheartened. Relationships are not a fairy tale which go smoothly, there are many ups and downs. Most of the times our unrealistic expectations leads to misunderstanding and fights. We understand that at times it’s hard to understand what you can reasonably expect from your partner so here are few things that are fair to expect from your relationship

Love demands respect and time so it needs to be balanced in a relationship to keep it going. Secondly respect should be given to each one’s thinking, work  irrespective of personal choice. Demanding respect and time are totally acceptable and one need not to compromise on it .
