Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
Przysłowie otwiera podrozdział "Take better care of yourself", który dotyczy tego, że czasami lepiej zrobić coś dla siebie, zaspokoić swoje potrzeby niż dopasowywać się do innych (tutaj partnerów), ponieważ ostatecznie być moze nie zranimy uczuć drugiej osoby, ale zaczniemy odczuwać wobec niej niechęc, żal, rozgoryczenie i generalnie nie będziemy szczęśliwi. (A. Christensen 'Reconcilable differences'). Z góry dziekuje!

Our genuine desire to protect our partners’ feelings may make us conceal our own and curb the behavior of ours that hurts their feeling. Although these loving acts of protection may insure peace in the short run, if extensive, they may create resentments in us that, ironically, generates more distress than had we not been so protective. If we took better care of ourselves, we might have to deal with conflict in the short run, but we might increase our satisfaction over the long run. - http://goo.gl/zBAqD1
