Don’t test people by not actually telling them what you want, need and expect from them in the hope that they will figure it out by themselves. Test them by communicating your needs, so that you can then see whether they’re willing and able to adjust their behavior accordingly. That says more about their quality than whether they can intuitively figure out what you want from them
i hate how they market alexa as a ‘member of the family’ like that’s SO fucking blatantly insidious and terrifying also if i wanted an untrustworthy/cold/emotionless machine in my life i’d just talk to my fuckin father
btw one of the key components of actually being in a healthy relationship is just asking for things that you want. i keep seeing posts on this website saying ‘i really want to do/receive [X] but my partner has never done it’. just ask. 'nobody exchanges love letters anymore’ ask. 'i want to have my partner’s hair in a locket like the victorians’ just ask. 'i want to be bought flowers regularly :((’ literally just ask. your partner doesn’t know they’re being held to these expectations and that you’re unhappy unless you tell them. it’s so unfair to expect your partner to read your mind. 'it’s less special if you have to ask :((’ grow up and stop pretending you’re the lead in a romcom. when people say communication is crucial they mean it !! just ask !!
