Trying to explain how a relationship works to your partner it’s also very weird. Still, fuck that.
idk man explaining relationships seems like a pretty reasonable and normal thing to me, if both people aren’t on the same terms i’m not sure how anybody is expecting it to work otherwise.
You could subscribe to a “social” relationship standard but that’s stupid.
Explaining what you seek in a relationship is good, doesn’t mean you need to “educate” your partner on what you think love is, everyone has different needs.
Educating your partner on what you think love is, and what you seek in a relationship is good. How can they be expected to know, otherwise?
