Swami Mukundananda
Why do my relationships keep causing frustration?
Expectations cause frustration
What disrupts relationships is not the other person but ourselves, through expectations that lay the foundation for frustration. The cultivation of healthy relationships is a science that can be learned.
Expectations lay the foundation for frustrations. You expect the other person to be, act and think a certain way and to align with your thoughts. When those expectations are not met, the result is frustration.
