There are two types of people in the world when it comes to dating and relationships. The first kind is fully aware of the fact that they have expectations for the people and connections they let into their lives. However, the second kind can’t admit that to themselves because they’re worried about what it says about them.
Everyone expects things from the people they date, and that’s as it should be. Having expectations for your sugar daddies guarantees you’re loved and valued as you should be. It ensures you’re treated well, that your boundaries are respected, and that you actually get what you want out of that connection.
However, while different sugar babies want different things from the sugar daddies they date, some things are simply essential (and realistic) if you’re serious about having a great relationship. Here are some examples of healthy expectations everyone should have.
Agreeing to Disagree
Even the most in-sync couples will hit roadblocks once in a while. Maybe the two of you are always on the same page except for one or two political stances or spiritual beliefs. Or perhaps you two have different energies when it comes to how you socialize or decompress during your downtime.
Differences like these ultimately only ever matter to the extent you allow them to. You can simply accept that they’re part of the process of connecting with other people and avoid conflict by agreeing to disagree.
Relationship Equality
So many relationships fail because the two people involved can’t seem to establish the right balance. One person eventually winds up handling everything, often without ever actually agreeing to it. And at that point, it’s only a matter of time before serious resentments develop.
A better approach is to sit down with your new sugar daddy right at the beginning of your relationship and hash out everything you expect of one another. If at any time those expectations change, you should sit down and rehash things again. This gives the relationship a sense of equality – something that looks different for everyone but is absolutely necessary in every instance.
Occasional Screw-Ups
This is another given in pretty much any relationship, so it’s healthy and realistic to go into one expecting it. You’ll screw up at some point, and so will your sugar daddy. You’ll say things you don’t mean. You’ll accidentally hurt each other’s feelings or make an assumption you shouldn’t have.
People make mistakes; that’s a given. But you and your sugar daddy can work through anything with enough love and understanding. Keep in mind that everyone makes mistakes, so it’s important to treat others as you’d have them treat you if the shoe were on the other foot.
Solid Communication
Relationship harmony and honest communication go hand in hand, without exception. Communication is the key to ensuring you and your sugar daddy always understand one another. It can help stop the worst misfires from ever occurring in the first place. It’s definitely the difference between feeling adequately seen and heard and wondering whether you ever matter to your partner the way you should.
That said, communication is absolutely something you should expect out of your relationships. Steer clear of people who don’t think it’s healthy or normal to openly and honestly discuss feelings, hang-ups, and issues with a partner. You’ll save yourself a lot of trouble.
Changing Priorities
One of the only fundamental constants in life is that nothing (and no one) stays the same indefinitely. That said, the longer you’re in your relationship with your sugar daddy, the more likely it is that you’ll eventually have to grapple with changing priorities.
In the beginning, when things are new, you’re likely to be at the top of each other’s lists. But life continues to happen. Your professional lives will go through peaks and valleys. Your social, family, and personal responsibilities will evolve. You’ll change as people, and your priorities will shift to match. But this is nothing a commitment to healthy acceptance can’t help you with.
Mutual Support
If you and your daddy can’t count on each other when the chips are down, do you really have a relationship at all? Unconditional mutual support is one of the most crucial things a person should be getting out of their relationship and giving their partner in return.
No, you and your sugar daddy won’t always see eye to eye or agree with every possible decision a partner makes. But you can support and love someone whether or not you fully understand why your partner is doing what they’re doing. As long as choices are made considerately and in a way that’s respectful of the other person, support should be a given.
Ultimately, all relationships take work and dedication – even the easy ones that feel written in the stars. Healthy expectations can help ensure both people feel that work is worthwhile.
