Relationship Philosophy 1. If you have a task you would like completed and you have an end goal in mind, either: a) do it yourself, or b) explain your end goal to your partner for them to complete it. If the end goal is important to you and you have your partner complete the task, who is to blame if the outcome doesn't meet YOUR expectation and your partner didn't know what your expectation was? Why should you expect someone else to have identical standards and values to you? - thinking further.... is the outcome always important? (the "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff" philosophy). Don't abuse your partner through assigning a standard that could be met only by chance. It erodes trust, because your partner will not know if you have changed the standard after the task was underway, and creates tension because your partner will either try to please you and consistently fail (upsetting to both of you), or your partner will not try to please you which sows the seeds of doubt.... You need to rely on each other.
