Swami Mukundananda
Why do I keep fighting with my spouse over small things?
Unrealistic expectations cause fights
Expecting the other person to read your mind, to have the same likes and dislikes as you, and to do as you want are unrealistic expectations. When they do not match, there is a fight, and there can be infinite disappointment.
The next expectation is that the other person should have the same likes and dislikes as I do. Again, this is an extremely unrealistic expectation because everybody is different.
