She might actually have unrealistic expectations of her husband to be there for her when she feels sick about something that she’s sure she can’t handle on her own.

When I was in high school homework took forever because I was so slow with my English. I was dead tired. also, I had this ridiculous expectation that I had to be the best at everything. So I’d come home from work and do homework until midnight or later. And my dad would sit with me reading his books. Id feel bad and plead he’d go to sleep. He’d say “no, I’m here for moral support.”

I always got one hundred percent.

Shitty return for my hundred and twenty percent effort, really.

You better believe I had unrealistic expectations of my future husband and what it means to “be there for someone” when they need it most.

Whatever, I don’t know.
