Don't expect too much......you'll only be disappointed later.

Hi sweetie. Seems you have read a lot of minds here. Disappointment is not the word i would have used though. We don't really expect much, just a bit of attention and love will do. One always use the other hand to wash both, don't we? Partners really should start to show what they feel. Nice day.

yes you are right on my own experience i expect to much that i will be finish in college but the thing is i cannot money issue..then i am so depressed ...but for now i over come but sometimes i just think and more what if.. and now i don't want expect to much of all things...

Hi. whengcat. After being married for over nine years now, I have to admit that I have felt this same way about my husband too. It really hurt because I remember sticking out my neck for him or just being very affectionate and generous, only to discover that he was not considering my feelings at all. So, that is why I try not to expect too much from him, because I know that he is always going to be in one of his moods to where he does not want to show me some love.

Hi whengcat! Yes it is true. So every time we make a good deed to anyone do it sincerely. Don't expect for reciprocity or whether she'he will do the same thing like you. We learn that it is hard to get back like what we give and hope this will not refrain us from doing the good things.

Hi whengcat, You know to be honest I use to feel this way and with my ex-husband it was that way where I use to give way too much and was always sadly disappointed. Then I drew to the conclusion that if I did not expect much then I would not be hurt and I was sadly mistaken. It took me a while to finally realize that why would I not get what I deserve especially when I give a great deal. Personally I feel that not expecting much means to me that I am settling for less and do I really deserve this when I am a very giving and caring person. Somehow it took years and thankfully I do have exactly what I give. I do feel blessed because I have someone now who is exactly like me. Where he gives and expects just as much as I give and expect as well. So perhaps it is the ole saying that always hope for the best and expect the worse, this way you are not disappointed. I am a bit opposed at least for me that I deserve exactly what I deserve. If it means that if I did not have it now what I do, then awaiting for it may have been best because I have been through a great deal. Now we know that no one is ever going to be perfect so a few disappointments are inevitable, so as long as we communicate what bugs us we and or they can learn. Because in my point of view I too and not perfect and with a bit of nudge I can correct my ways.

You know, if I had thought of this earlier; earning money online wouldn't be so boring.

Don't expect anything and you won't be dissapointed. This is the best advice my father ever gave me.

I guess that sometimes, it is inevitable that you expect something , even a little from your partner. But expecting really something big is not healthy. As long as you are not being neglected, then you are fine. Otherwise, it is also better to say your piece. Afterall, the other person is also a part of the whole relationship.

For me yes it is nice to hear it but be good if the time come you more expect then after all nothing to be made.

hi, yes every where and at every time we should not expect in return , if we wish something for what we did , should be at least appreciated or in return get some of the love we gave we would definetly fall off.We would be disappointed and then starts the fights or quarreles in a relation.

A long time ago, I heard that you should give 110% and expect nothing in return. That way, you won't be disappointed. Do good things. You will be rewarded in time.

Hi whengcat, good you have told the real truth of the world. Always everyone will expect anything from others, we expect in many ways from our friends, relatives or our life partner. It will be very hurting if the person don't follow us and do the said work. Many of my friends will finish of a particular work at a given time but many times they do it in the given time. At that time, the faith with our friend goes down and the next time we won't like to ask anything to them. But our human nature is that they always expect from others.

Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox. Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.

True.But still give it try until she/he will finally know what's the worth of your love and care. It's up to his/her conscience if she/he will never notice your worth.There are also instances that u should not expect too much when someone u really like ask u for a date because sometimes they're just doing it without reason and then, there u are waiting till she/he never really mean that date. So never expect until it is proven by u.

Yes, that's what i've learnt too. To not expect too much otherwise we be even more disappointed in the end. We should just face everything with a normal heart and when we don't expect too much, we won't be too unhappy. However, when two people are in a relationship, we should be willing to make sacrifice. Perhaps it is not that your partner don't appreciate you but maybe because him/her is occupied with other things during that period. Sometimes we need to talk and communicate with our partner to let them know we need to feel appreciated as well and should be not be taken for granted.

hello, I have a boyfriend I am really dismayed when he never appreciate what I done. I really feel sad about it, so you are right? that we dont have to expect too much from them because they might not notice all our effort. And sometimes because of that expectations we tend to be mad and angry to our partners.

Just do what you want to do and never expect something in return. Anyways, you do it for the sake of love.

Hi whengcat, agree on that sometimes it is better you will not expect to much, because if your expectation fails you will be very hurt.. But it doesn't mean that you will not have a positive outlook with that situation.. You must also put in mind that all things are work for good.. Expect less and you will appreciate things well and you will be happy on that.. Sometimes I also have many expectations with my girlfriend, but always she was not able to make or accomplished it, I will just be quiet and just pretend that nothings wrong with me, but sometimes it really comes out to your mouth about that expectations you want when both of your are arguing and nothing to say but all the wrongs you done and vice versa.. Sometimes your expectations never fall on the right time maybe it will be delivered to you at your own time and the right time, also some of your expectations you can't see because it was already transform in other figure.. that you never notice that your expectations do wait, was already in your front..
