I agree we do not always give men enough support but disagree that women are more likely to prioritize their needs. I have seen both genders sacrifice for others but usually in different ways. My father worked really hard to give his family the resources we needed to get ahead. He did many jobs he didn't enjoy. Of course, whenever he could--he would find jobs he loved and enjoyed but when they were unavailable, he perservered. I feel like I really got lost (didn't take anytime to self reflect and dream about what I wanted or needed) being a wife and mother. Everything was about creating an environment to help my children thrive and my husband's career and dreams where always the priority. Of course, I allowed this to happen. Perhaps I was subconciously programmed to be like this (cultural messages) and didn't examine my life the way I needed to until I had a major mental crisis.

Both sexes need to do more self reflection. There are some people (both male and female) who need to be more understanding about what the other sex is going through. This is a good discussion.
