Molly definitely had expectations for what the relationship would look like. And it sounds like Kelly contributed to that to a degree, if he sent her pictures of houses and made it seem like he was going to provide this wonderful life. Its possible he had intentions to do those things and then saw behaviors in Molly that made him pull away, but it seemed like he didn’t communicate that to her so she was left wondering what changed. I think they really had a huge breakdown in communicating expectations on both sides. And honestly they probably also had some outdated, gender-role specific expectations that they may not even realize they carry.
