For the people-pleaser who can be honest at home and still cannot risk a no with friends. The false yes is not kindness. It is fear of rejection, and the marriage keeps the bill.
When You Give So You Won’t Get in Trouble
For the person who keeps doing the right things and is quietly resentful. Giving so you will not get in trouble is not sacrifice. It is self-protection, and it makes a relationship lifeless.
The Shrimp Was Not Dead
For the person serving while furious and calling it holiness. The later complaint is the tell. Begrudging duty is not the same as love.
