Relationship expectations. What is too high? What is too much?
Is it too much to ask that the person is mentally, physically, and financially stable?
Some people say, "Hey, you're too picky. You ask for too much." How do you address them?
Also, what's too low in terms of expectations?
We discuss this and more in this episode of The Standard: Raising the Bar on Relationships!
A shift is happening with relationships. Women opting out and are no longer settling for the bare minimum. They are refusing to give up their peace for the few scraps of crumbs men are throwing at them. They are raising the bar higher and higher. But is it too high?
In Volume 1 of The Standard, Samantha and TJ discuss the shift, setting standards in intimate and friendship relationships, trauma bonding, setting boundaries aka policies, and communication.
This episode does not solve all the problems but simply shines the light on this new level of doing life and living in freedom!
