RE: Accepting That You Deserve Good Things
My SO is also perseverative, in speech and action both, so I know this experience well. And yes, we deserve good things.

It can be quite embarrassing, but it is also just another way of being. I'm grateful I can be aware of my perseveration to be present for others who deserve just as much of an ear as I do.
Awareness, as in many things, is key. With the SO, when she comes home from work, we'll have some time for her to recount the story of her day, before I talk about mine. To be fair, mine is also usually far less eventful, as I work from home, whereas she goes out to teach.
Teaching can be an energy overload. I am most perseverative after that type of engagement. I like that you have a system in place. My SO always makes sure to hear me. We are working on having him repeat back at intervals so I am less redundant in my speech. :)
