What is too much for a girl to expect from a guy in a relationship?
I mean, you hear about all these things a guy should do for a girl, but what is too much? what do girls sometimes want that is just too much to expect?

Your thread could go for your years, there are way too many things to list.
Best to just tell us what specifically is on your mind.

There are certain things... Like a girl should not expect the man to stop looking at and flirting with other women, evidently. You can expect him not to sleep with them, but you can't control the degree of socialization he does with other women.

Too much would be expecting that you are the centre of his universe. He will have a life, hobbies, friends, activities, some of which will not involve you. Expecting that to change would be too much.

Now what do I personally think about this? I think, I understand the Muslims, and the motto "the wife's face is her husband's business". I mean if I could, I'd make my boyfriend wear a burka!:):):) Hell, it'd be great for my sense of security. :D

Alas, putting on a burka would be asking too much from a guy. :hmm:

Expectations are personal to each individual meaning that one person's opinion of what is expecting too much won't be shared by every other person. That's why this question is really too hard to answer. What I believe is expecting too much in a relationship other people might think is standard in a relationship and well within the realm of normal expectations. But I happen to be a very laid back, live and let live type of person. I don't expect anyone to change who they are for me, I don't expect them to give anything up for me, I don't expect them to sacrifice anything for me, I simply expect them to love me and to show it.

More than you are willing to give. That does not mean both partners have to do the same and equal for each other. It means that they have to equitably meet the other person's expectations. For example, it isn't wrong for a girl to want a life as a housewife, to have a man provide for and take care of her. It is wrong to expect a man to be a provider and then expect him to take care of the home as well. Which is to say, expect as much as you are willing to bring to the relationship.

First time for everything, I guess :)

Oh...man. Yes, neither partner (hopefully) should expect the other to carry most of the weight in the relationship, I agree with that. But I'm afraid that your example of this basic idea is pretty outdated and very gender-stereotypical.

Expect and then fail... Guys can just assure of something. Things are just easier said than done.. :(

It would shock you the number of women I've known with exactly this attitude. I have also known guys that "couldn't" find work and still managed to do nothing around the house all day long while their significant other was working. The difference is the outdated social context you referred to, the latter is generally accepted as being a bum and loser that should be kicked to the curb. A title I've not seen applied to women under similar circumstances.
