What is the difference between entitlement and want in dating?

1. You can want something but you’re not entitled to it. It’s an important distinction. How about an example. I want my partner to stop biting their nails, but they enjoy biting their nails because it gives them comfort (and they’ve developed a habit). Just because I want them to stop biting their nails doesn’t mean that they have to. I can impress upon them how important I think it is that they stop biting their nails, but ultimately I can’t force them, they have to choose to stop.
