Expectations

What are some of the expectations you have heard that men have of women? (and vice versa--women have of men) in romantic relationships?  Are they realistic/fair?  What are some of the expectations you have of your significant other? Do these create perpetual rifts/cycles in your relationship? What is your advice as to how to help deal with this divisions caused by certain expectations in relationships? Where should the line be drawn as to what expectations are ok to expect from your significant other/of the relationship and when do these expectations become just you living/looking for to fulfill your fantasy/get your own selfish fix? Comment.
