Do you have any 'expectations' of your partner?

I'm sure everyone has some kind of expectation placed on their partner, but they might not be as demanding as the Wifely Expectations Pact. And I doubt if very many people actually write them down.

Maybe it's just that they won't sit on the couch all day and not do anything.
They will take showers and be clean and presentable.
Maybe it's that they will try to look cool and not make fun of you in public.
Or that they will be on your side and supportive in most situations.
That they won't hit you or be verbally abusive.
If you are going to a movie or some other activity that they will invite the other partner.
That you can touch them anyplace and expect them only to have sex with you (in monogamous relationships). You will have knowledge of other partners in alternative relationships.
That you expect to be taken out on dates?
That you will remember your anniversary, v-day, and birthdays and give gifts & go out somewhere.

Or do you have some expectations from that list?
That your partner will shave, sleep naked, have sex on a regular schedule?
That your partner will take care of setting the alarm each night.
That you will have (naked) pictures taken every 3 months.

Any other ones that I didn't think of?

(Off topic, but after reading that list again, why do I think he is some kind of lawyer? It was written like a legal contract.)
