“Baseline expectations vs individual needs”
What Actually Happened
I feel unheard and unappreciated in our relationship. He wants me to have hobbies and not bother him, but I feel like I'm already doing that by myself when he's not around.
What I wish I knew
"He needs to understand and respect my feelings and needs, not just his own."
Advice to Someone Facing This Now
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly and honestly with your partner about your needs and feelings. Don't assume they know what you want or need."
