2. Expecting Too Much
We have those Hollywood romance movies to thank for this one. Titanic, really? The Notebook, common! Do these grandiose fairy tale love stories really happen in real life? This fantasy of over the top love affairs always ending perfectly is just not realistic. We are set up to expect a certain romantic fulfillment that for the most part is kind of starry eyed and not your everyday occurrence. Instead of forcing this romantic movie turned real life in your head, take the time to really get to know what is important to your partner. Find out naturally what they like and want and then take it from there in being Mr. or Mrs. Romeo. In real life, you probably won’t be getting a bouquet of roses every day or scoring great tickets for date night at the best game. When romantic gestures are done all the time, it takes away from the appreciation and excitement. Live life with limited romantic expectations from your partner, they come naturally and without asking. If worse case, you end up in a fight over it, just be happy make up sex is there to help you rekindle your romance.
