When you start a relationship of any kind, you develop expectations of the other person.  If you do not state the expectations clearly, you can almost 100% guarantee that things will end because of “broken trust”.  YOU and only YOU are the communicator of your needs.  Hoping that someone can read your mind is absurd.  I have heard at least a million times, “I can’t trust them”.  Reality is . . . you don’t trust yourself to identify and clearly express your needs within the relationship.  Try starting with knowing yourself and getting really comfortable with the you that you desire to be.
