I just recently ended a relationship with an individual who upon my research, I found out to be a covert aggressive manipulator.. I basically told the person to emotionally heal and until then I couldn't be with the individual.. the response was a thank you...no remorse or no trying to explain anything...could this be that he was shocked that I figured it out or just really emotionless or a combo of the two? I truly don't want to ask because there has not been any contact since then and don't want to initiate anything that would give the impression i'm still interested.... just wondering if anyone has been in a relationship with an emotional manipulator like this who just gave up easily like this? and things that you personally did to figure out why you attracted this type of individual and how not to do so again??
What response were you expecting? Seems like it could have gone much worse. I can't see most people reacting favorably to such an accusation....especially not people with emotional issues.
Most manipulators don't see themselves as such. So for them being told is like telling the wall it's the wrong color.
I think you're better off to not have contact and leave it like it is.
I'd let it be and move on if possible.
You do meet all kinds of people in this life.

I don't see any value in telling another individual who you are done with about your internet evaluation of his/her psyche. I think the other person would be happy that you revealed the side you of that would lable him and determine what box he fits in. It would give him incentive to sever ties with you immediately. So do the same and move on.

lol so you are rather saying I should be the one in question? fyi in one of our conversations,the individual in question decided to box me into a category of psychology way before I even replied in this manner.
I'm a real therapist with a license and everything. What is a covert aggressive manipulator?
AKA as an emotional manipulator,the covert-aggressive personality conceals aggressive intent to ensure you never really see what’s coming; and he or she exploits your normal sensitivities, insecurities, conscientiousness, and other vulnerabilities to manipulate you into succumbing.
