By- Shreya Sharma

When in a relationship, we are bound to have expectations. No wonder, how much we try to keep our relationship off expectations and not let our relationship be bowed down with the baggage of expectations. We just cannot help it. We end up having expectations of which some are legit and some are just unrealistic that are hard to fulfill and creates trouble in your paradise. Still expecting a few things from your relationship that are important for your relationship is never bad. Here are 6 things you should never feel bad for expecting in a relationship.

1. Respect

If he cares for you, he will treat you with respect for sure. He will appreciate and understand your values and beliefs, even if he does not agree. He respects you in all decisions and lets you voice your opinions. He accepts what you think and say.

2. Communication

Communication is the key to a healthy relationship. This means you should feel bad if you expect your partner to talk with you, be honest with you and tell you what is on his mind. It is ok to expect that your partner will share his emotions with you. There should be open lines of communication.

3. Reply back

When you text someone, expecting them to reply back is completely fine. You need not settle down for someone who does not treat you right. If you are in a relationship with someone, it is okay to expect them to text you back in a reasonable time. If he does not respond you back, you deserve someone better.

4. Attention

It is okay to expect that your partner pays attention to you, talks with you and listens to you. If he cares for you, he will show you his care and will be involved in your life. If you are with someone who seems uninterested or is only bothered about his motives, then it is better you call it off. Asking for attention from your partner does not make you needy.

5. Time

Expecting undivided, uninterrupted, quality time from your partner is nothing wrong. You should be with someone who loves to spend his time with you rather than being with someone who barely has time for you or is always busy on his phone even on dates. Be with someone who values the time spent with you. You need not be sorry for asking your partner to manage time for you from his busy schedule.

6. Love

When you are in a relationship, you should feel loved. You should always feel the love from your person, not always perfect love because we are all imperfect people but genuine care, support, and kindness.
