I honestly believe that the answer is yes. It’s the inability to keep anything in proportion that is to blame. Yanks have to orchestrate their whole lives in preparation for some unlikely or abnormal event. And then there is this (quelle horreur!)
Tempering our expectations of one another. Often we will “expect” the other person to do things in the way that we would have done it, be it showering the kids or acknowledging a birthday, or having dinner on the table after a particularly hard day. And when that doesn’t happen, coming back from that disappointment is hard. But we set ourselves up for it a lot of the time because maybe the other person didn’t realize you wanted things done in a certain way or maybe our expectations are unfair and unrealistic.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/05/marriage-problems_n_3684326.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009
