This kind of manipulation is particularly prevalent among insecure men who attempt to compensate by bullying.

They feel power , from the ability to

control their ‘partners’ lives and

remove their choices.

We as women have been trained to “go along to get along”.

The expression , ‘ if you get good a giving , they get good at taking’.

And take they will.

They will take your choices . Your plans , your self worth , your sense of style and your sense adequacy as a human being .

They will gift you with anger and resentment.

Hopefully that resentment will lead you to seek help in restoring your sense of self and your identity .And will strengthen your ability to seek your own desires and will teach you that your life is as important as anyone’s .

There is nothing worse than having a person you care for instill fear and an extreme desire to avoid fear by pleasing their twisted ego .

Find out what works for you to be happy .

And love your life .
