Some things are not really about Pride though, but are instead Assertivesness. My assertiveness in my experience is what is the difference between myself and being or becomming a doormat. Nothing I want to be when I grow up.

I don't believe pride has a place in this Style of relating. Or should in any LoveShip. But that is me and my perception and experience with Loving. Nothing will keep one from Loving and Committing Fully, as will pride ime.
