MsHdog is displaying a lot of this, although she DOES spend money on herself. I play the martyr too, but I think I'm a bit quieter about it because I blame myself for putting us into financial straits. Oh, and wanting recognition for being a "good little martyr" is one of those "covert contracts" they talk about over on the NG site: "If I do (or abstain from doing) x, y, and z, surely he/she will recognize this and treat me to ___."
