Thank you very much for this article! Excellent advice expressed in a way I can truly understand and relate to.
I have tried a hundred times to set boundaries and tried to stand up to my husband but it’s really hard. He’s my boss in our family business and I manage the busy office. He leads an hour-long conversation every morning to test me and my work piles up, but I believe he does it to find out how I feel about him and it’s like an interrogation. He reads me like a book.
Standing up to him is like trying to walk against a gale force wind.
He embarrasses me in front of his brothers and harps on my mistakes, and this has GOT to stop. I’m not perfect, but he has no right to continually shine a spotlight on my mistakes.

This article will really help me. Thank you so much!!!

It’s not a contest, but gender has nothing to do with it. “Manipulative people are more manipulative” – https://qr.ae/pNqWWO

After reading this article, I am much more aware that the man I’m so deeply in love with is an emotional abuser. When he acts out or says things that are manipulative red flags go up (but I never knew why), and my response is usually silent when his emotional behavior is like a “dark hole.” But everything else I respond with agitation in my voice or mannerisms. But now with this information, I will begin something new. I will call him on it, “It seems like your emotionally manipulating me by directing fault on me when you were at fault or caused the disagreement.” That’s an example. I can do this! (I hope). At this time I will make a boundary, “I am aware there is emotional manipulation here that has become part of our dynamics and it is unhealthy. From now on when I see or hear it I will point it out.”

In reply to Tanya D. Once a user, always a user. What is in it for me? They do things if there is something in it for them. You want dinner? Sure they will take you but it will be the restaurant of their choice. You can test this out and see that they always have to have it their way. They hate sharing and they hate to see you improve yourself.

In reply to Priscilla. Protect yourself first and foremost. I believe that you cannot 'save' someone that is not trying to save himself first. Also, he might manipulate your thoughts and behavior into feeling sorry for him and into doing certain things that will 'help' him. If things get really bad, get professional help. Do not forget that it's not your relationship that gives you value, as a person, but your own thoughts and actions and there are plenty of people out there that would appreciate you more.
