Exactly. Standards should reflect what you’re willing to give and contribute, not just what you expect to receive. Wanting the best is reasonable, but a healthy relationship requires mutual effort, respect, and value from both sides.
Some people call it “standards” when it’s actually entitlement. Wanting the best is fine. Expecting someone to provide it while you bring nothing is different.
