very new thought

Good Morning!
I just had a new thought: when I got married I expected that hubby would meet my needs just because they were there. Like I don't have to be independant anymore. I don't have to drive in the dark, or carry heavy things, or kill spiders, or drive to NJ to see family, or support myself financially, or mow the lawn.

What if I pretended that I have to find a way to meet my needs by myself? That he is not my crutch and that he is not supposed to be my crutch. That I don't expect too much from him. We just live together and if he does something to make my life easier then great, but no expectations.

I wonder if this is possible for me? Even in college I had expectations of my roomate/friend. THis sounds so simple but it feels like a big idea to me. THanks for listening.
