Expectations

On relationships… I felt that in today’s mating market full of women with power jobs, power wardrobes & power bodies, I was a power failure!
— DIANE C., The Mating Manual

We are always trying to make ourselves into what other’s think we should be. I call this the “girdle syndrome”—just show me the girdle & I’ll try to fit myself into it (even if it is two sizes too small!).

Whether I girdle myself into others’ expectations or my expectations, they’re still expectations. Even an expectation to give up an expectation is an expectation.
