What are some things you expect out of your adult intimate relationships (i.e. trust) and what are some of the behaviors that show whether or not you are getting those things?

I expect common courtesy, consideration, honesty, and communication. If I have all those things, then trust is a given. I also expect the time of day, and a good sense of humor. Behaviors that show I'm given those things include, a phone call when one is late and they know I'm expecting them (we have plans) --they offer information about their day without playing 20 questions, they ask me questions about my day and show interest when I'm talking, and if they are going somewhere, they don't just say, " Ok--I'll be back"--instead they ask me if I'd like to come with--although I probably won't go,...but it's the fact that I was given the option that matters.

While I know how this hurts you, please do not take it personally. I have gone through the same thing with my husband although it was me that had no desire. He needs to speak to his doctor about the adjustments of the hormones and telling them it is interfering with his sex drive. My issues started when I went on a different birth control pill. I didn't really notice it at first, but it soon became an issue in my marriage as well. It got to the point where it would be once, maybe twice, a month..and even then I found myself not into it and just wanting it to be over as quick as it started. I love my husband very much and it had ZERO to do with my love or affection towards him..but the hormones just messed with me in a weird way. I ended up going off that pill and without the hormones things have gotten much better. I understand he needs to be on hormone therapy, but maybe the drs can put him back on his old routine, or make some other adjustments to at least make some smaller doses of hormone. Hope things work out for you

You are right I think that trust and honesty are the #1 things in any relationship and especially in an intimate relationship to expect. After all you are not only dealing with your head and heart, you are also gambling with your health...and if you are with someone who has had unprotected sex with multiple partners, that is something that you need to know.
Also you need to feel comfortable with one another in and out of the bedroom and have respect for each other. If one or the other starts taking the other person for granted and makes them feel like they are only after one thing and that is a booty call then that can destroy any good feelings you have for them. The signs of that are pretty obvious...if the other person does not want you to come to their house or meet their family...if they do not disclose too many facts to you and keeps making excuses. If you feel like you are being hidden or a secret in his or her life for whatever reason then huge flags should pop up.

Im not sure what you mean but if you mean intimacy in the bedroom then you should expect for someone not to tell what goes on behind closed doors

I excpect trust and open line sof communication and respect. I know that something is wrong with my b/f if he goes to bed really early or if i ask him if there's something wrong and he mumbles no but stays standing by my side with that pity lip, I also know if he is cleaning frantically thats how he deals w his frustrations

trust, honesty, support, happiness, kindness, satisfaction
i dont know how to explain how you would know if you are getting these things except by saying just how you feel, you can tell your not getting these things if you feel the opposite, (lying, unhappy, unsatisfied, unkind..)
