You know, it is true that not everyone that is arsy to you is your enemy. Sometimes I prefer people being straight to my face rather than being all nicey nicey. I guess you've gotten that end of the stick - can understand how unpleasant that could be for you....
On the side of expectations , personally for that I would always say that it is important to know our own boundaries and what we are willing to put up with,- or not. Once we know that, then when someone comes along, rather than trying to change the other- it would be a case of sorting out the compatibility factor and seeing if both parties can work it out somehow.. and if not, well, that's part and parcel of life relationships hey.. with 7.5 billion people on earth and counting- pretty sure there's at least one out there perfect for us.. lol ...
