Raising The Bar

Never let someone convince you your expectations are unreasonable. If you have a set of inner core standards and require certain behavior or treatment from your partner in order to be happy; stay true to yourself. Keep in mind, if your expectations border on insanity then you should prepare yourself for a lifetime of broken relationships. If however, your requirements are reasonable, then under no circumstances do you compromise. There’s nothing wrong with setting standards. These are what are also known as your non negotiable. If you know yourself then you know what will and will not make you happy. Establish an internal list of non materialistic requirements and use them as your guideline for selecting a mate. Many non negotiable items are attainable because they are usually behavioral elements. These items, if slightly flawed, can be worked on and through time remedied if your partner has a willingness to change. If you express your displeasure and they refuse to change you will never be happy.  Life is beautiful and short. Live your life to be happy and if your partner makes you unhappy move on.
