“Is expectation in a relationship wrong?”
I guess Not really… unless you expect someone to be consistent and emotionally available and normal at the same time because apparently that’s asking for a Marvel superhero with WiFi stability (at this point you’re basically asking for a Disney prince with WhatsApp double tick confirmation) Lol.
The truth is, everyone enters love acting like they’re chill: “no expectations, go with the flow.” But the moment someone replies fast, shows effort, and makes you feel like a main character… boom, expectations are born like they’ve been living there rent-free all along.
It feels like a Disney scene at first… like Rapunzel finally seeing the world, or Aladdin showing a whole new world of attention and care. Suddenly your heart starts thinking, “oh… so this is how it’s supposed to feel.”
You start expecting small things that feel big now:
good morning texts that feel like sunshine
late night talks that feel like comfort like “Frozen” winter melting into warmth and replies that make your heart do that silly little Tom & Jerry chase scene of excitement.
Then reality starts doing updates without warning. One day it’s cute replies, next day it’s “seen 3 hours ago” and suddenly you’re questioning your entire personality like you did something illegal for expecting basic communication .
And the funniest part? The same person who made you expect consistency will later act like you’re too intense for noticing the inconsistency. Like excuse me sir/ma’am, you trained me for this level and now you’re acting surprised I passed the test?
Even worse… you start acting chill outside… but inside your head it’s like expecting a 365 Days level romance, only to receive ‘seen at 2:17 PM’ and emotional buffering
Ngl >> One day you feel like the heroine in a Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa love scene — soft, dreamy, butterflies everywhere. Next day… it feels like you’re stuck in a comedy episode of Mr. Bean, sitting alone, confused, wondering why the person who once cared so much now replies like it’s a burden.
So no, expectations aren’t the villain. The villain is when someone starts like a romantic Netflix series and slowly turns into buffering YouTube with no WiFi.
But sometimes, the most heartbreaking thing is realizing you were expecting forever from someone who was only learning how to stay for a while.
And in the end, you don’t even stop loving them properly… you just downgrade your expectations until “replying back” feels like a luxury and “not ignoring me for 6 hours” feels like emotional commitment !
But lesson learned: it’s not wrong to expect. Just make sure the person didn’t just come for the trailer… and leave before the movie even starts.
P.S:Yes maybe I talk like I don’t expect anything…
acting all mature and chill no-expectations tough fella…
CHILLLL
but deep down I’m just a certified dumb ass
who still smiles at the phone like a
cartoon character when someone texts nicely
( Like Getting A Free Ferrero Rocher Box).
