Chapters

What does a martyr mean in a relationship? A martyr means a person that is being unhappy in their life and you're offering help to them and they refuse the support. They prefer to see how much I suffer for us and the relationship. Yet when the other person tries to support you, you say no. Sometimes it can happen to all of us. When a solution is being offered to change that. If you help me, and I'm used to arguing with you, I don't want to change that because this is me. You want to change it, but it's your identity. You say you want to change it, but you really don't want to change because it has become your identity.
