Two Awesome People
Unrealistic Expectations That Will Kill Your Relationship đź’€
Think your partner should read your mind? Always make you happy? Stay forever young and endlessly attractive? đź’€
In this episode, Don and Kelly pull apart all the ridiculous demands we pile onto our partners: expecting them to read our minds, keep the spark blazing 24/7, complete us like a missing puzzle piece, and basically serve as our full-time happiness machine. Spoiler: none of that works.
But don’t worry—it’s not all doom and gloom. Along the way, you’ll hear about Don’s bullet-point “pretend list” of demands, Kelly’s battle with dish-rack Tetris, and why “clock it” slang makes them both feel ancient. There are perky fires, poop lasagnas (thank you, Larry the Cable Guy), and a full breakdown of why expecting your spouse to change is as realistic as asking them to grow a third arm.
This conversation is funny, raw, and a little uncomfortably honest. If you’ve ever thought, why can’t they just know what I want?!—this episode is for you.
By the end, you’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe even walk away with one expectation worth keeping: find a partner who doesn’t make your life harder. Everything else is just noise.
