Description

Have you ever been blamed for not knowing what your partner wanted—before they even told you? That is "the expectation trap." In this episode, I share the story of Rita and Tom, and how the belief that "if he really loved me, he would just know" creates a disconnect between partners who genuinely care for each other. Neither was wrong—they were just caught in the trap of unspoken expectations.

For men feeling constantly criticized despite your best efforts, this episode offers a path to love. Whether you're struggling in your current relationship or preparing for the next one, these insights will help you build the foundation of clarity, vulnerability and understanding that long lasting relationships require.  Check out The Expectation Trap: Why "You Should Just Know" Doesn't Cut It In Relationships, episode.
