Dear Dr. Laura:
For six years, I had a boyfriend who put me second to all of his hopes, plans and dreams. Then I met a man who begged me to go out with him so he could prove to me things could be different. Seven years later, we've been married for six years, have a house, two kids, and he has a military career. We'll still happily going strong.
When I was still with the old boyfriend, I remember telling someone about coming second all the time. I heard myself qualifying that statement by saying "but he's really a great guy and he's good to me." The person I was talking to said "It sounds like you're trying to convince yourself." That realization made me open the door to my now husband. I am cherished and respected in my marriage. Thank you for teaching this to your listeners!
