[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I did this for a long time. We both grew up in environments where one parent was the villain and the other was the martyr. His dad was an alcoholic. My dad just worked a lot. I think that at some point, I started being the martyr about him working all of the time, me not being able to peruse the career I wanted, basically parroting my parents marriage, and he saw that he was the villain in this scenario. He quickly flipped things to make himself the martyr and me the villain, which, of course, caused a lot of fighting. Neither of us wanted that role. Eventually, we had to realize that in a healthy relationship, there is no villain and no victim. It’s not easy since we have no role models, but we work on it. [/quote]
