What emotions do you experience when your partner manipulates you?
user
When my partner manipulates me, I feel a combination of feelings including anger, disgust, humiliation, sadness and fear. I often don't know how to properly respond to manipulation and that can lead to further feelings of confusion and embarrassment. On the deeper emotional side, I might feel hurt by being treated like an object rather than an equal partner, or frustrated that my opinions are not taken seriously. Ultimately the sense of powerlessness experienced with manipulation is the most overwhelming emotion for me as it erodes any sense of autonomy in a relationship.
