@drjacobsanthouse: As much as it’s easy to feel like it’s not genuine if you had to ask for it, the alternative is assuming that your partner can read your mind and likely end up disappointed when you find out that they couldn’t. And also, it is still genuine, even if you had to ask, and it still took effort. #relationships #marriage #MentalHealth #therapist

People aren't mind readers. Communication is SO so so so important.

Communication is important but observation is important too. If she cooks every single day, it would be nice if she doesn’t need to ask her partner to take the lead from time to time- to plan for meals and to actually execute it.

I saw a video yesterday that was putting down guys that ask what chores their SO wants done around the house. This is refreshing to see.

If I have to ask every single time then yes it absolutely makes it less genuine and exhausting

What about apologies? I've never gotten an apology I didn't have to ask for, and an apology just doesn't hit right when you have to ask for it.

maybe in the beginning of the relationship, but if you're with someone for years and they still don't know your routines then that's a problem

If I regularly need something done, I communicate that this thing needs to be done, and I end up doing it because they "forgot" or were too lazy...then it's not mind reading, they should have known.

When you have to ask simple things that are supposed to be shared responsibilities yes it is less sincere!

I think the point isn’t that we want them to read our minds, it’s that we want them to look around and put it in their minds the same way we put it in our minds. Dishes are my responsibility so I SEE

I’ve never understood the mentality that asking for something ruins it. Communication is important.

I agree that a lot of things we need to communicate to understand for each other. But I also believe that if you truly love someone, you never have to wait for your love to ask for it.

I disagree. Sure, we humans aren’t literal clairvoyants who can read other people’s exact thoughts, but people with any degree of emotional

There are certain things I’m willing to ask for and receive & others that I require as a normal thought process of a partner I desire 🖤

And some of us need reminders to form habits because we do love you.

How about the fact that I feel like I can think about how to make the relationship better and he doesn’t? I understand I can ask for things but why can’t he suggest things?

This can't be true concerning household chores. Why do I see the things that need to get done and he doesn't when he is the one working from home? Instead I have to ask him three times to do something

But this is obviously not a blanketly correct opinion. If I wanted my partner to do something without asking, it’s because I wanted their intentions to be self-motivated rather than be due to my wants

Therapist here, I think the point makes sense on a surface level but it doesn’t take these things into the broader context in which they exist. When talking about restoring attachment security and

when I have to ask for something to be done, it's a -1 to my happiness. so I don't ask for things unless it'll grant me +2 happiness. if I have to ask multiple times for the same thing, that adds up
