Ever heard the phrase "Unstated expectations are resentments waiting to happen"? I've actually been saying it for years...and only recently started asking myself how to better apply this concept in my day to day world.  As easy as it may seem to ask for what you really want, most of us are so busy being stuck in our own long term patterns that it simply doesn't occur to us to invite a new conversation. I'm here to suggest that it just may be worth the effort :-)
