Not really a certain thread for this subject, but I was looking up books today on affairs, and decided to look at verbal manipulation.
The info from these books hit home with me. I am ordering one of them. My husband likes to make me "feel guilty" or demeans me to get me to do things for him, or at least "his way" He makes a lot more money than I do, so that is what he tries to use mostly for "leverage".........
He tries to make "jokes", yet they are said in a hurtful way to me....... and then gets upset if I don't smile or laugh with him.
If I tell him that it hurts my feelings, he automatically shakes his head and does the silent treatment, saying how "oh , now we can't even play games or have fun with each other"....
I am not a strong inner person anyway, so now I wonder if I am just "attracted" to controlling men, obviously cheaters as well...........
