My partner and I have been together for a while, but I'm not sure if they are as emotionally invested in the relationship as I am. How can I manipulate their emotions to make them more dependent on me?

You can start by showing your partner how much the relationship means to you. Talk about the future and your hopes for it together, make plans and discuss memories you want to have. Show them how much you appreciate having them in your life and tell them often. Also, make sure they know how available and accessible you are. Always be there for them in moments of need - both emotionally and practically. Finally, let them know when something happens that makes you feel grateful to have them in your life; verbalize those feelings!

It may not be possible to control someone else's emotions, but you could try increasing the amount of time you spend with your partner, expressing your deepest feelings and desires, or doing something kind that makes them feel appreciated. Another option is to initiate intimate conversations about the future of the relationship and making plans together that require both of your commitments.
