Typically, this is because one person has these standards and expectations in their head about how it ‘should be’.
But has never verbalised them or has said them in a moment of unhappiness or anger.
Here’s how to fix it ⬇️
1. Write down the expectations or standards you each hold.
2. Choose the right time and ask your partner if now is a good time to talk about them.
3. Discuss the standards and expectations and why they are important. Goal is to create shared understanding only at this point.
4. Discuss what small changes could be put in place to create change.
