  idk man explaining relationships seems like a pretty reasonable and normal thing to me, if both people aren’t on the same terms i’m not sure how anybody is expecting it to work otherwise.

  You could subscribe to a “social” relationship standard but that’s stupid.

    Explaining what you seek in a relationship is good, doesn’t mean you need to “educate” your partner on what you think love is, everyone has different needs.

      Educating your partner on what you think love is, and what you seek in a relationship is good. How can they be expected to know, otherwise?

        I guess my english comprehension today failed me because I said the same thing minus the educate part, isn’t the word used in a teaching context? I read OP’s post as someone who has a higher understanding of what a relationship is, which is both weird and untrue since you absolutely can have fireworks/effusive emotions after the honeymoon phase.

      i believe those to be the same thing intrinsically. Gaslighting your partner into believing something that isnt a thing is bad though.

  If they’re not getting it, then sometimes it’s necessary lol
