self-sacrificer
One who surrenders
A self-sacrificer is someone who gives up their own interests, comfort, or well-being for others.
The term often carries a faintly critical edge, suggesting the sacrifice may be excessive or performative: She's such a self-sacrificer—she won't let anyone help with the dishes.
