I would say her's more offten. It makes me happy to make her happy.
I think we try to balance but I think mostly her needs are more of a priority. I often don't mention what my needs are or what's going on with me. I've always been very private in that way.
Mine. Wish he would be more open with what he is feeling. :(
I think we try to even that out. But I don't mention a lot of what I'm wanting or needing. And I would rather address hers first. So her needs are more of the priority to me
Lol calm down woman! All I'm saying is I care about your needs and I want them addressed

Both are equal
I think we would both say each other's needs :-)
I make it a point to put her needs first and she does the same
He doesn't seem to have many aside from getting his house in order. So I make that my priority to help where I can.
He always tries to keep me taken care of.

Hers to me .. Mine to her
Not needing much on my 1/2 seems to make it pretty easy.
The problem with this is, you look outside of our marriage for your needs:/ You need to come to me with them and communicate to me more what you need...

I would say that mine do at a lot of times, but I always try to focus more on hers even if I don't do it well
He does
Both of us I think?
His
His needs seem to over rule mine in everything. He makes me feel like my needs are selfish of me to ask of. So I'm just trying to not mention them anymore to see if that makes things better or not..... Idk.
