They always say if you don’t expect anything you will never be disappointed. This is something that I pretty much live by. I don’t expect anything from anyone. But this poses it’s own problem, people get used to you not expecting anything of them, so they don’t even try. My husband is one of those people, because men in my life haven’t held a very high status I tended to just do what needed to be done and never ask him to do anything because I knew he either wouldn’t do it or he wouldn’t do it right. The downfall of that is that everything is left  on my shoulders. And now that I want things to change, he’s taking more effort on all of our parts.

I try really hard to not put people on a pass or fail basis. I’m a pretty open person, and tend to get walked on by those closest to me. I don’t know why I let it happen, it’s just the way I am I guess. I guess in that sense I’m a people pleaser. I guess I need to find a balance.
