I guess my english comprehension today failed me because I said the same thing minus the educate part, isn’t the word used in a teaching context? I read OP’s post as someone who has a higher understanding of what a relationship is, which is both weird and untrue since you absolutely can have fireworks/effusive emotions after the honeymoon phase.

Explaining what you seek in a relationship is good, doesn’t mean you need to “educate” your partner on what you think love is, everyone has different needs.

Trying to explain how a relationship works to your partner it’s also very weird. Still, fuck that.
