French term or phrase: me fait passer
C'était… c'était compliqué et je me disais, mais c'est pas possible, il me fait toujours passer après tout, après son travail, après ci, après ça, j'en ai marre d'être toujours la dernière roue du carrosse et un jour poum la lumière s'est allumée dans mon cerveau et m'a dit, mais Aude attends, tu lui reproches de te faire passer après tout, mais toi tu te fais passer après qui et je me suis rendue compte qu'en fait je me mettais toujours en dernier après tout le monde et ce que je lui reprochais, c'était juste que moi j'étais même pas capable de m'apporter justement, le fait de prendre soin de moi et de…de me faire passer en premier.

il me fait toujours passer après
he always puts everything else before me


Explanation:
I really think that again here, we simply wouldn't express it in the same way in EN; we often seem to say "he puts everything else before me" or "I always seem to be last on his list of priorities", "his work comes first", etc. I think if you turn it round that way, it's easier to make it work with the list of things given: he puts his work / this or that before me.
It also works well with the friend's comment: "Who do you put first / before yourself?"
