There genuinely is such a thing as expecting too much from your partner, and knowing the difference is freeing rather than shaming. In this Secure Love Club session, Julie Menanno explores two common ways expectations tip out of balance: expecting your partner to carry emotional work that should be balanced by your own self-work, and expecting them to help you regulate painful feelings in the same unhealthy ways you have learned to. She explains the crucial distinction between healthy co-regulation, leaning on each other, and outsourcing your emotional work entirely onto your partner. You will learn how to sort fair, reasonable needs from expectations that keep the relationship stuck, and how to take responsibility for your side without swinging into self-blame. Clarifying and compassionate for anyone questioning whether they want too much, or too little. The full teaching is inside for members.
