Nice short article! It's obviously very important for people to be aware of subtle forms of manipulation, especially in relationships. I think we need more articles like this to inform and warn others. Some people can enter into relationships and remain there for years completely oblivious to the fact that they are being emotionally manipulated!
I'm now going to now check out your last post on passive aggressive behaviour, and look to see if you have similar posts in your blog. I will follow your posts, thank you!
