There are clear signs that I have a manipulative partner, but maybe I’m not seeing them. If you feel identified with this phrase, keep reading.
They say that love is blind, and it is not only blind to physical beauty, but also to other much more important aspects of the relationship, such as emotional manipulation.
6 clear signs that I have a manipulative partner
Manipulation is not love. Maybe your partner is constantly blackmailing you and you haven’t noticed. Look at these behaviors and you will know.
1. He plays the victim
His goal is to make you feel guilty for his mistakes, so when you say something negative about him or the relationship, he responds with phrases like “I’m not good enough”, “you don’t love me anymore”, “you’re being rude”, etc.
2. He never admits his mistakes
To err is human, but he doesn’t consider himself an ordinary human, that’s why, even though he messed her up in the most horrible way possible, he doesn’t admit that it was his mistake, much less apologize.
3. He gets aggressive
As in the previous point, every time you criticize his behavior he gets angry and hurts you with his words or threatens to do it with things that he knows hurt you a lot, such as breaking up.
4. Lower your self-esteem
To have control over you, he will dedicate himself to identifying your insecurities to bring them out in your face when they have an argument and, in this way, make you feel that you are privileged to be with him, that he is better than you.
5. He goes into “passive aggressive” mode
After an argument that has clearly been caused by him, he literally punishes you for getting angry with him, but he doesn’t do it openly, but with a wall of silence between the two of you.
6. Puts words in your mouth
In the middle of a fight, he throws things in your face that you never did or phrases that you never said, but that it would be very convenient for him if you had done it to end up as the winner. His goal is to make you doubt and make you assume someone else’s responsibility.
Do you feel identified? Batteries with that! Emotional manipulation in the couple is also a form of abuse, so share this note, you could help many girls to open their eyes.
