We will martyr ourselves, suffering under the weight of a non-reciprocal relationship until some part of us bursts in protest.

So, we hunker back down and the martyrdom begins again. It's a terrible cycle. — Mary Crocker Cook

If there isn't a serial bully involved, it's probably not bullying you're dealing with. — Tim Field
