Switching up words

I'm not sure if this is new to you or not but for me, I've heard it either in therapy or running around in my head for the past 2 years...

I'm not a good wife/mom/daughter/girlfriend because I do this and this and this... Because I'm a good wife/mom/daughter/girlfriend, I do this, this, and this.

It's such a hard concept for me to grasp, it dissolves expectations which in turn minimizes disappointments. It also frees me from so many different pressures, pressures I inflict on myself. Pressures no one asks of me.
