Hi Indira and classmates,
I just read the daily message from November 7th. I love it, but I have real problems with it. How can I stop expecting and demanding things from people I am close to? Can,t I expect help from my husband with house work and other things? Can't I expect colleagues to do their fair share of work...... ? It feels to me that when I stop demanding things I have to do everything myself which will be more peaceful but would not feel right either.
I would be very greatful for an answer.
With love, Gabi
Hallo Gaby,
ReplyDeleteI think the message of 7th novembre is not meant so literally.
Of course you can expect respect from others you have not to become a victim who does only what the others want.
You can say you feel uncomfortable if someone treats you respectless and say how do you feel with that.
I have this week a kind of exhaustion depression because I tried to fulfill all demands and expectation of my boyfriend. Now I said to him it is too much for me. And he was apologizing because of his too demanding behaviour.
Now we are flying for one week to Turkey to the sun and sea.
I wish you all the best and be not a victim to the others.
Love Elisabeth
