The reason this comes up all the time is that when we go into a relationship without a healthy regard for ourselves, our lack of self esteem is likely to hurt the relationship, eg suck the life out of it,create problems.
We cant always choose what order our needs will be met in life. Sometimes we might meet a partner before we have a career or some other kind of fulfillment, but I think things go much more smoothly in a relationship when we are first more fulfilled on our own.

I’m not exactly sure where I am in this. Thanks for clarifying.
S&C— As troublesome as I have been to my h, he still says he loves me. I sure didn’t earn his love. When someone loves you, it’s really hard to push them away even when you try.
