About This Quote
The quote "Let him disgust me before pleasing me" questions the idea of sacrifice. It's an important idea that anyone who has sacrificed their own needs for another person should think about. When you are in a relationship, it can be hard to prioritize your own needs. When your partner is unavailable, it can be easy to prioritize their needs over yours.
Maybe you want to have sex with them but they really don't want to have sex with you. Or maybe they are cheating on you and you want to break up with them but there is fear that they will get offended or start cheating on you instead. This quote can be interpreted as saying that your sacrifice should not be for the sake of others but should only be for yourself.
You should not do something just because other people are doing it or because you think that what you are doing is wrong. You should only do something if it will make you happy and help yourself grow in life.
