Nobody is obliged to live as per your fancies. Are you able to fulfill your own expectations? And if even you cannot meet your self-image, how is the poor wife or husband going to live up to what you expect from him or her? If you think that it is feasible to live up to expectations, demonstrate. First of all, show that through your own life.

You cannot lose weight, but you resent the fact that your wife is overweight. Yes, the wife will drop weight; first of all, you take the lead and demonstrate. You cannot do one thing right in the office, but you find it disgusting that the chapatti is a little more brown than you would want it to be. Why such biased expectations from the other?
