His priority comes firstl then mine :(
I feel like my needs are often times more attended to...and I'm not sure if that's just because I'm more outspoken about it, or because he's just the kind to care for others needs before his own. It's probably both.
Kids
both
I always put her first.
I try to make his if I can but I feel like I have so many problems within myself that I always take center stage even if I try not to or dont want to
Depends. I try to make his needs take priority because my schedule dictates so many things in our lives together. Not that either of us likes to admit we have needs. Although we both have wants!
Not mine
Everyone but hers; she definitely puts everyone else first in her life (which is why I'm *sooo* happy when she puts herself first and does something just for herself)
This is such a sweet comment about your wife. Awww.

Thanks! Sweet as it may be, though, I still wish she'd do it more often.

I think it use to be mine 100 percent but now I think it's his.
I'm very easy going and less particular about things so I tend to go with the flow more often. I do need to learn to put my foot down sometimes though ;P <3
Could you do me a favour?

its equal, we both have our ways of helping each other nomatter what the situation...
definitely ain't mine for sure
I hope both, but I could see where I can be more vocal about what I feel I need.
There has to be a balance between fulfilling both people's needs. I think each one should get their turn on the hot seat.
