Why is it?

I wonder why we women typically put ourselves last and still somehow find some reason to feel guilty.
We are so worried about hurting the feelings of a man who has no problem letting us put ourselves last. - Often times, these guys end up leaving for a woman who won't put up with being treated badly.
We all have to realize that we aren't doing anyone any favors by being door mats. It's not good for the man either.
I think it is good to encourage each other not to put up with it. Let's start treating ourselves the way we treat others!
Even if you have to pretend you are someone else ... do what you would tell a good friend in your situation to do. You will feel like you are being really selfish because you are not used to taking care of yourself, but just keep doing it until it feels natural.
I'm in the process of this right now too. It seems like a few steps forward and a couple back, but just keep moving!
