And I think sometimes it's (emotional blackmail) the only tactic they know -learned from their parents or in previous relationships, or desperately feel that that's the only straw there is to use to better the difficult situation.

I agree both of you @anayakhan and @meandyou! Emotional blackmail is not like something we were born to know or a dark side of humanity. It really depends on how you grow up and what you have been going through in your life.
I think it's good that people write about these kinds of things like you did, so we all can get aware of them and learn more about our behaviour and emotions and that way work on them. If you e.g. don't know what emotional blackmail is or realise that you behave like that in your relatitionships it's hard (or impossible) to adapt new and better behavioral strategies.
