bonym agony auntOf course its right my dear friend. When I get married (if at all I ever do find Mr Right!) I expect him to love, honour, cherish and care for me as his wife, as well as manyother things if he doesnt he is a gonner. What I mean is, of course you have to eneter into a relationship expecting something or somethings, its only natural.xXx

Helen1986 agony auntEverybody has expectations in a relationship but we have to be careful about the amount we expect or we could end up killing the relationship. Relationships should be fun, loving and also a partnership.

guardian87 agony auntof course it is right! its all that n e love-seeker would dream of; having a relationship that went the way you wanted it to work out and having some1 to love you and take care of u when you were down, all that good stuff. So to expect things from your boyfriend is only natural.

But be cautious. Dont expect too much of someone unless if you can really depend on them to fulfill it. Not every relationship works out the way people want it to. I had a girlfriend who i always expected to never use threats on cheating, but every other night we would fight about something completely random and she would say that she would run off with someone else if i didnt agree with her. Not-so-long story even shorter; people are not always who you would expect them to be. Heading into a relationship is only the begining of truely getting to know someone, and that someone could turn out to not fill out what you had expected him to.

But good luck with ur relationships!!! And dont be afriad to discuss with your boyfriend when you think he should do something different in the relationship. fights are never fun, so staying calm and discussing the matter patiently and with an open mind will never cause drama

Everyone has expectations in relationships...good and bad.

I believe that when two people come together and are sexually active with one another...this constitutes that each person owes the other common respect, decency, honesty, patience, commitment, respect, validation, to listen to one another, to forgive, to strive for common goals, to work together...

I think that when you are attracted to someone and you start to date; there should be that converstation that you both have that tells it all...that will reveal if he/she is the one you have waited for.

Hope this helps.
