Especially if they are ambiguous and don’t want to set the expectations?

For specific tasks or your career in general?

talk to them - “I plan to perform X, Y, Z. Does this align to your expectations? If not, can we please discuss details?” schedule the call or ping them and ask for a call to set expectations. I would appreciate that you want to meet my expectations. Come at it like you’re genuinely interested and don’t place blame

Write it down and setup a meeting to discuss it in detail.
Then set recurring follow ups to track progress/deviation and elicit feedback (and document it)

I am the primary breadwinner and far out earn my husband and my stepson’s bio mom. I have always put pressure on myself to succeed (Cont.)

My gf and me call each other everytime we have free time. However lately she seems disinterested in phone time. She never initiates calls anymore and she tells me she wants to hang up in the middle of the day and not right before bedtime. We live a 4 hour drive apart. And I told her this is like living together from a distance, because I put her on the house speakers. What can I do to keep her engaged?
