Putting You First
What is Putting You First?
In key moments, you put the other person's needs ahead of your own without resentment. Selflessness in a relationship is not about self-erasure but about genuine prioritization when it counts. It is one of the clearest expressions of love and commitment available to us.
When you might feel putting you first
Putting You First is a specific form of generous, which itself is a type of supportive. You might experience this feeling in situations where supportive is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define putting you first.
