"Sarah....I am sorry but I guess we'll have to part our ways," proposed wrinkled fore headed James who had once proposed an everlasting togetherness to Sarah.
He looked down to escape her searching eyes that were looking desperately for any remainder of their four year's of love and passion in his eyes.
"James...is there really no way out?"
"We have not been able to keep up to each other's expectations."
"Expectations James!!!" Sarah stood up firmly, unzipped her wallet, left ten dollars on the table for her share of pizza, and before slamming the door, slapped him and snapped, "Yes James, the individual in me has now trespassed the woman in me to keep up to your expectations."
Are you this dazed James or bewildered Sarah whose date, love or marriage is breaking up because of unkempt and unfulfilled expectations? Is it that your expectations voice the dichotomy of gender - man and woman? What else could have Sarah meant when she said 'the individual in me has now trespassed the woman in me...'?
Let's have a dig at the different partner expectations that man and woman entertain, expectations that are natural to their being.
For the woman the expectations range on the scale of 1 to 10 in seriousness or triviality, from expecting bouquets to commitment.
To categorize, woman entertain, whim and fancy the following expectations from their male counterpart.
In the society of equals, there aren't dogmatized men who expect only submission from woman. But like women, men too keep their share of expectations:
Categorized thus, do all man and woman respect their gender differences and understand the expectations of their partners?
For Sarah and James, fulfillment of their individual expectations had been central to the success of their relationship which thus failed. In another case, Janet and Mark had a day when....
... it had been three hours since Janet's return from her office, but Mark would not even take her call let alone the promise to take her out for dinner. Did he forget his promise as always or did he forget the day.
Impatiently patient Janet finally heard the rattle of his car and ran out to him.
"I am....I am sorry Janet... Actually I was..." gurgled Mark when Janet intervened "You were stuck up with a meeting that was unscheduled and indispensable. Right?"
"Ya... I am sorry. I promised you dinner after months and I..." again took over Janet "you were feeling helpless. Mark, it doesn't matter if at the end of the day we are together."
Mark came closer, kissed her, and whispered in her ear while walking in, "thanks for being this amazing wife, thanks for completing my sentences.....wow!!!''
A candle lit table with a bouquet, cake and food delicacies was awaiting Mark.
He knelt down, withdrew a ring from his vest, "Janet, my love, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!"
"I LOVE YOU MARK."
Like every woman Janet expects Mark to keep up his promises especially for the special days and at the same time, like every woman, she wants her man to progress at work.
To their expectations that were likely to get sick for the clash among them, they offered the remedial pill of patience and understanding, keeping their expectations alive and thus the essence and liveliness of their relationship.
Janet understands the expectations of Mark and offers him understanding, flowers, cake, candle and food when he is most guilty of not having fulfilled her expectation and Mark overcomes his unfulfilled promise with a sweet anniversary gift that Janet would treasure the most.
Wish you all understand and respect your differing expectations and get as cozy, comfortable and happy in relationships as Janet and Mark for whom expectations instead of a handicap as in Sarah and James case, work a cementing bond till the end!!!
