Expectations are something we hold people to, my friend has learned this first hand. A friend of mine had this boyfriend who failed expectations many times over. She expected him to be the nice guy who wanted a steady relationship and who was going to treat her right. He failed and made her mad and distraught, along with me and her father. This guy was going to church and all and was going to take care of my friend. He took advantage of her love, got her to skip school to be with him, and went against their commitment to each other and convinced her to have sex with him, if she really loved him, she would do it with him. The next day, he treated her like trash and like she never a real part of his life... Failing expectations is sometimes are harmless but other times it is harmful. Anyone have any examples of such? Please omit names and dates for privacy sake.

Something similar like this has happened to me. There was a boy who treated girls wrong, but when my friend talked to him he told her that he changed and that he was a better person now. She expected him to treat her good, but of course he acted the same way he did before about a week into their relationship. This is also an example of how failing expectations can be harmful.
ReplyDeleteI know this person who married a guy who was supposed to take care of her and be nice to her. This was an arranged marriage. When they were married, the man would not let her study and expected her to stay and work in the house. She refused to this and left him within a month of their marriage. They soon divorced after she left. She ended up being out casted by most of her family because divorce was not common in India at this time and was considered a wrongful act.
ReplyDeleteI have noticed that many of these situations have been brought on by men, this is becoming the normal now, that men don't treat women the way they should. Today, most men, have lost the respect that was once held for women.
ReplyDeleteGood real life example.
