No I can smell a manipulator from a mile away. Experience of bad relationships makes one wiser. None of that happening here now!

No. I've cut ties with all manipulators. I am not a manipulator. I consider myself brutally honest and upfront about my needs and wants.

I'm not sure what's happened to me. I studied body language and how to counter things in verbal conversations using it, and it does work. I don't think I manipulate as much as I counter-manipulate. I do notice once you start getting the upper hand with a manipulator they suddenly have no interest in you whatsoever. So, say you love your wife or husband and spot those things in the link, get ready for the divorce!! LOL

What do you do if there is a manipulator in your life, and you HAVE to deal with it? It is consuming ever corner of my psyche. Cutting ties is not an option. Can anyone recommend a good book(s)?
