Whose needs tend to take priority in your relationship?

I think my needs take priority way too often, because you have a hard time 1) acknowledging to yourself that you aren't superhuman and that you have needs 2) expressing your needs to me. I love the way you put me first! But we have to work on being certain that both of our needs are met consistently so that we can last thru the long haul. X
Cam's
Hers
I think we both put each other first but I'm definatly spoiled and he's doing a LOT for me and I appreciate all of it
I think it's pretty even. We both tend to focus on each other's needs and I don't think one or the other has "priority". We just want to make each other happy!
we have a really needy kid who is the primary focus, unfortunately
I think a lot of times she focuses on mine when I should object and focus on hers
I think we have tended to take turns in the past. But now we seem to do a much better job of being less co dependent.
I think it's important to shift as needed. It shouldn't be one sided

Hers mostly.
Hers , but not because she says so
Our needs. :-}
I think our relationship is very well balanced in that area. I am there for her when she is down and she is there for me. And we both love to take care of each other so both of our needs are tended to!
Oh she gets her needs taken care of :)
Probably mine, but I would like to shift that.
