Assume.  It makes an a$$ out of you and me.

  Assuming you know what your partner is thinking is the first ingredient for relational disaster.

Assuming means you’re crossing a line that you aren’t allowed to cross.  It’s saying that you know what is going on in your partner’s head and heart.  And you don’t.  Unless you ask.

Assuming suggests that you two aren’t communicating so well.  Communication is fundamental for a successful relationship.

9 times out of 10 you’re assuming the worst.  Assuming he’s cheating, instead of assuming he’s telling everyone how amazing you are.  Assuming she only cares about herself, instead of assuming she’d do anything to make you happy if you’d just ask.

If you absolutely HAVE to assume.  Assume the best.  Your partner (probably) deserves the benefit of the doubt.
