RE: People have too many expectations from you
Exactly, focusing on your own happiness instead of trying to make others happy usually results in those around you being happy as well.

There is one exception and that is if that somebody is your wife. In that case, making your wife the happiest first makes you the happiest.
Yes, of course, but it also depends on how you focus on those around you.
For example, focusing all your attention on your wife and ignoring yourself completely can bring you to a state of constant anger and sadness and those things, in time, may even influence the relationships you two have.
Everyone should need to find some balance in my opinion, to look after those we care and to do what we can to make them happy, while not ignoring our own happiness.
I do agree, for the most part.
I'm not saying that I'm always putting my wife first. It's just that making her happy makes me happy as well.
