I copy and pasted the description of what a Martyr is btw but everything else was mine. I’ve met a few martyrs in my time. They stand out like dog’s balls.

How to deal with a martyr? You can’t because they won’t listen. They are more wiser than you.

  Of course. That’s what a Martyr does. I have to. Poor me.

    I know I grumble, everyone I know does
    
    but we aren’t doing it for sympathy and none of us say poor me
    
    it’s a coping mechanism to grumble
    
    whereas a martyr is manipulating
    
    Is that right?

    Kind of.
    
    BIL is in hospital so the focus and sympathies are with him. She doesn’t want to miss out on anything so she becomes the Martyr. Look at me/us. Now feel sorry for me because my son is sick.
    
    I think it’s more out of boredom (even though martyrs are ALWAYS busy). The manipulation is just a bonus.
