Are you the most important one?

Are you willing to accept that you are not rank number 1 in your love ones heart? What is the lowest level that you can accept or we should not be comparing it this way? To me, I think and I feel that I am not ranked the top in my boyfriend's heart. I want to be rank first, to be rank as the most important one. However, I feel that this is not really possible. Am I asking for too much or is this just how everybody feels?

I am not rank 1 as well in the heart of my bf. And he knows that I don't like being just number 2 or 3. But I can't force him to put me as number 1 for now since he also have to fulfill his goals and dreams first. And I understand him now since I can say that there are also times that I can't have him as number one priority. Anyway we are still young so I guess we have to fulfill something at one point for now before we have each other as number one. Although it would be nice to fulfill those dream together, but in our situation, it just hard. So I will have to be contented with being rank 2 or 3. :)

I really want to be the first in his heart. But I know it will never be the case because I can feel that he put his family in front of my. Maybe I'm just being sensitive, but I feel they are way ahead of me. Perhaps I just want him too much. I've been trying to tell myself that I must be contended and accept with being not the first in his heart. However, sometimes I just cannot control my emotions and they get the better of me. I feel like I need to knwo I am number 1 before I can decide whether to get married to this guy.

I understand how you feel. But just give your partner time. He may be prioritizing his family for now and maybe soon it will be always be you and only you then. :)

Yes, I really need to give him time. Not only does he need time, but i believe I need time for myself too. For myself to calm down and to understand things. Hope one day it will be me and only me. Thank you

Hi dream, I feel he is my no.1 and so as am in heart. Though we use to fight for that number saying am i not 1, but many times our actions prove they are number1 to each other. Its comes out of true love and we like to be number1.

Hi besthope, you are right, we have to based it on actions and not on words. Words are really not reliable. So what if the other person says that we are number one but the action don't tell us so? It's great that you feel that you are his number 1. It really makes your relationship alot more stronger and it's really nice to hear that. It comes out of true love.

You are right dream! When we do them in action, we not only prove others how we much we love them, it also makes us to feel how lovable we are and we can expect the love returned right back from them too.. Afterall love is what everyone expects for them! Cheers!!

personally I don't see it important # 1, # 2, 100 etc as long as I am in my lover's heart and he is in mine the most important thing to me is that he reciprocates if I keep my promise, he keeps his if I am loyal, he is loyal if he makes mistakes and I forgive him, then he should be able to forgive my mistakes if he can't do this, well he can go find someone else LOL the first and foremost is love yourself nobody else can do this better than yourself. Why? you will always be your # 1 in fact if you are not already, it's time to start

Hi Little Mel, Thank you for reminding me that first and foremost I should love myself first. I am in no capacity to love other if I don't even love myself. It's really time for me to get started. Sure, as long as we are in our partner's heart, there's no point knowing how and where we are ranked. We are not objects and should not be ranked this way.

Sad to say I am not number 1 in his heart though he is in mine. As much as I don't want to compete with this family. There are times wherein I demand his time to spend it with me which are, most of the cases, the cause of our misunderstandings. Don't worry dream, you are not alone in this one and I know someday we'll see the light on why we can't be number 1 yet in our boyfriend's hearts. I love my family, too, but I always make it to a point to give him enough time so that misunderstandings can be avoided yet he is the one who doesn't give me enough time at all.

Yes, this has been causing me and my boyfriend alot and alot of misunderstanding and especially recently because I want to feel that I am his most precious one. Yet, every time I set myself up for disappointment. Sometimes I really just don't know what to do.

Importance is depending upon that how much love we are giving. We have to give our true feel and do anything for our loved ones. Then only they will give full importance for us. and we also think about them, how we can make them happy. We have to feel the responsibility, then only they will give importance to us.

Yes, first we need to give them our full love and to place them at the most important place in our heart before we are able to want to receive the same thing from them as well.

I do not know how people rate me. But I think I am the kind of person that is nice to all person. I try to be honest and to be good to members of my family and my friend. I do not have a girlfriend. I am kind of a shy person.

I'm willing to accept that. I think our children are ranked number 1 in my partners heart.. I'm fine with that. I'm not sure about your specific situation so I can't comment on how you should feel... I don't think you are asking to much though.. A relationship should consist of unconditional love. I don't think you should worry to much if he loves you, I don't think there should really be a ranking system. I understand what you mean though. Who do you believe is his number one? How long have you been together?

We are just BF and GF, not a married couple. Yea, a relationship should consist of unconditional love but.. I also understand that nothing else should matter when both parties loves each other. However, I really want to be the first in his heart. It really makes a difference. I think his family is his number one and I am quite far away from it. I'm not sure it is because I want him too much or just because I'm jealous. We have been together for 5 years now and this problem has been bugging me since about the start of the 2 or 3rd year.

if that person is not my husband yet, i can accept it, but not totally. i'm a bit selfish, but i want to be his priority. if he can't make it, then however it hurts, i need to call it off. i'm pretty sure that there will be someone out there that will make me his princess and i'll be his world. but if he's already my husband, its ok if he prioritize his work over me. because i know that its for our future. but again, he doesn't need to overdo it.

Yes, i do admit that I am selfish too. I want to be his priority and I want to be first. It really hurts to not be the first on his list. THis man I am referring to is currently still my boyfriend and sometimes I really don't know what to do.

hello, Actully, it really doesnt matter to me if I will not rank as number 1 as long as he loves me and I love him, I understand. Well, you are not asking for too much you just loving so much from one person and you are expecting what you also feel to him. It is natural if you are loving a person and you are asking for more but if you think you are not the number 1 maybe dont ask him at all,

Sure, as long as there's love between two people, why bother about our ranking? Definitley, i know my standing and I can feel that I am not number one and I think this thinking of mine has been giving us quite a lot of trouble since. Sure, since I am not his number one, I really shouldn't ask him at all and at least I won't have to keep facing this same problem.

dream_ozn...do not except anything but #1 in your boyfriends heart. I fear that you are looking for heartbreak. When you love,you should be #1 in each others lives and hearts. Just one man's opinion...

Yes, I want to be the first in my boyfriend's heart and he is #1 for me too. Or perhaps he isn't? I shouldn't say it out so quickly. Sometimes, things are not as easy as saying them out.

Well,That's a difficult question!I think that the love can not be ranked!I always hear that many girls will ask their boyfriends a question: if your mother and me dropped into a river but neither she nor I can swim ,and that you can save only one,then who will you save? Actually,this question is the same with yours!I insist that love is the same in many cases!
@dream_ozn (1754)

Yea, the question that you put is the same one. And my boyfriend has actually say that the situation I am putting him into is the same scenario as the river question. Even so, I would be very very glad, very glad indeed if I can be the one whom he save. I know it's really selfish of me and i really feel ashamed to say it out loud. However, Sometimes humans are just selfish.

I think it's not too much to ask to be the most important in the person that you have a relationship with. I am sure that he is the most important one in your life and that is normal. So I think you should be his number one and only one person in your life.

Yea. I really want to be his number one too. However, sometimes when GF are compared with their family, it's a different matter.
