Always getting hurt by my unreal expectations

Hi!

When I am in love with a guy I always imagine things about us. Not only about having sex, I mean simple things that he does to make me happy. But the reality is usually not the same. The guy loves me, but he doesnt express it the way I expected him to.

For example, I got operated yesterday and my bofriend was nice to take me to the hospital. I expected him to say "I love you" before i go, but he didn`t.. Then after the operation, while i was lying in the hospital, i was thinking about us, how happy i would be when i see him and he will give me lot of hugs.

Yes, he was interested in me, he wrote messages to ask how i was, which was ok. But today when he came to take me, he didn`t give me a hug and none of the things i imagined happened.

At first i was mad a t him, but then i realized that i was doing this with my ex boyfriends, too. That I imagine a romantic future and they dont do the exact things. I think the problem is in me.

I just wanted to tell this.. Thanks for reading it.. I am curious if someone has had the same experience and how he/she managed to cope with it.

Thank you!
