Relationship Advice

I assume many people will think that your partner is the most important person in a relationship. I don't agree with that- I think YOU are the most important person. The reason is without self-respect, without the ability to see your worth in a relationship, you will be manipulated and victimized by your partner-if indeed your partner is that way inclined at all. Doing everything to please your partner won't make you happy, you will be making them happy even to a self-destructive degree. An adage states that relationships are a two-way street-and that's the same with EVERY relationship. So you've met the love of your life, are you really going to make him/her/them the most important element in your life and not yourself? I know, being selfish isn't nice, but this isn't about selfishness, this is about giving yourself enough respect so you won't risk a deception, whilst giving your partner the same respect if they show you the love that you want from them.

Do you agree with me here or do you have another take on this matter?
