Update: I have limited my contact to the Machiavelli Manipulator, and I just want to thank everyone for the posts they have been very helpful. Now that I understand that it is all about control and how that is related to fear/anxiety it makes much more sense. I never realized that the manipulators I have met have also been very fearful.

LOL at the extreme measure this wicked witch had put me through, I'd totally thwart her plans and take over the world if I had to!!

If you let him, he'll manipulate and push you around. Just stand up for yourself and maybe even embarass him in front of others. The silent treatment isn't the answer.

That's right.

See. You have a great marriage and then have the MIL with you. See. There is always something that will destroy a situation. Like ants at a picnic.

I hope you weren't thinking of dating this guy.
