Those are changing your beliefs in a complex situation. But you’re not simplifying any model—you are substituting one model for another; “I shouldn’t have to ask my partner for what I want” is replaced by “I should have to ask my partner for what I want.” There is no reason to think that that is a lower entropy model—it’s just a new model instead of the old one. The question is whether the model “I’m uncertain whether I need to ask my partner for what I want or not” is more or less complex than “I shouldn’t have to ask my partner for what I want.”

Given my experiences with working with beliefs I don’t think that’s the case.
Unfortunately most of the evidence I have for that is personal experience and talking to other people with personal experience so I can’t link you to a resource making that point.
