What is the most unrealistic expectation you've had for someone you were in love with?

Question

I'm not being judgemental. I think sometimes that everyone has at least one unfulfilled romantic wish, that while as ridiculous as it may seem, it's something that he/she always wanted to happen. I could be completely wrong about this though.

For instance, I've always wanted the woman I fell in love with to sing to me. I know, I know that's very retarded. Firstly she'd have to be able to read my mind because I couldn't just ask her too. Secondly, I have absolutely no musical talent at all so for me to expect what I can't do myself is pretty selfish. And thirdly, she'd have to be able to sing in the first place.

So I'm really just curious if anyone else has any unrealistic expectations and what that would be.

Answer 1

I have a tendency to assume that people are going to respond in a paritcular way and am often sad when they don't.  The same applies to my boyfriend, and he's called me on it once or twice.  So I wish that he would respond the way that he should, lol.  For instance, if I say something like, "My friend's boyfriend is cheating on her," I wish he'd repsond with, "I'd never cheat on you because I love you, and any guy who does is a jerk."  Somehow turn it around so it compliments me?  lol.  It's so stupid, and I don't need compliments, but it's nice to hear something every once in a while.

Answer 2

My fantasy is similar to yours-- you know how people create their own mini videos on Youtube to other people's songs? I wish my ex-bf picked a really romantic (maybe cheesy) song to express how he feels and then put together photos, images that are significant to our relationship, maybe writing other words on it as well. I know, I know,   a girl can dream, right? :>

Answer 3

To be hugged when I cry instead of yelled at.

Answer 4

Dunno really...I would just settle for someone who more than just tolerated me I spose.......

Answer 5

I always wanted a man to beg for me lol I know that's not realistic but I always wanted a man to be like I can't live without you.  

Answer 6

I really wanted him to surprise me with an engagement ring...uh it's 8 years later! where's my ring!

Answer 7

well I would expect my future husband to do everything right in the relationship and know now im feeling.But its never going to be that way.

and your expectation isn't really unrealistic.just because you have no musical talent doesnt mean you cant expect it from someone.

I will be singing to my Husband on our wedding day!

Answer 8

Well yeah. Everyone has always got that one thing they want their partner to be able to do. Or I should say, do for them. Like you said, it may not ever be fulfilled, but it is always there. You always have that one thing. ALWAYS. You seem pretty romantic. How old are you? [e-mail]

Answer 9

lol wtf o.o

no girl can perfectly read a guy mind

Answer 10

I wish the guy I was in love with wouldn't have any female friends and that I would be enough of a woman for him to get rid of those who make me uncomfortable....

I don't know if it's unrealistic or just selfish.

Answer 11

I wished he'd quit drinking... silly of me.
