Bad expectations:

• That the other person can read your mind and know what you think
• That there’s such a thing as a “correct relationship” where both partners must follow a strict set of rules
• That you must be in a relationship at all

Lack of clear communication, people not bringing up things as and when they need to be addressed and holding onto issues can lead to this as well.

Some people don’t realise that they are in a partnership, and you do/don’t get to do certain things because you’re a certain gender, earn more money or have bad past experiences you both have to be each others support.

True partnership thrives on mutual respect and understanding.

Ignoring, mistreating, or taking the other person for granted.

People make it about themselves. They put the “I” in “team”.
