Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sally has unrealistic expectations about their relationship. Sally's intense jealousy over Jake spending time with his friends from work indicates that she wants to be with Jake all the time and is not willing to give him any freedom. This expectation is not realistic, and if they were to get married without addressing this issue, it could lead to problems in the future. It is important for both partners to have their own interests and maintain some individuality in a relationship.
