Be aware: 10 phrases that can give away a manipulative man

It's not easy to recognize a manipulative man at the beginning of a relationship. After all, they all skillfully pretend to be gentle, loving, and decent individuals. However, some phrases can show their true self and become the very red flag that means it's time to end the relationship.

OBOZREVATEL will tell you what phrases a manipulative man uses to subdue a woman's will. Such a man uses affection and force in turns and forces others to do what he wants.

1. Why are you doing this? I have done so much for you

He will try to convince you that he sacrifices his comfort and goals for you, and you respond with ingratitude.

2. I tell you everything, but you don't want to share your secrets with me

Such a veiled message that there is not enough trust between you should be alarming. Why do you need to tell him about your every move? We are free people and deserve to have our own space.

3. I thought you loved me, but you can't give up going to a cafe with your mom/meeting a friend for me

Love is not about giving up other joys of life and contacts with people. Why not just explain why he needs your presence today? You may want to change your plans yourself.

4. You made me this way

If your chosen one tells you that you made him jealous/aggressive/nervous, you need to run away from him. After all, the guy is not ready to take responsibility and will blame you for something all his life.

5. I didn't say that

Does he make you doubt your own mental abilities and think you have memory problems? Obviously, this person is not the person he is trying to be.

6. I have a bad temper, something is always wrong with me

A manipulator will push for pity rather than solve problems. After all, it's easier to blame a bad temper than to say, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I'll make it right." By the way, when he runs out of arguments, he will try to make you feel guilty.

7. I didn't lie, you didn't ask

Omissions are also a kind of lie, especially if the truth is hidden not because of forgetfulness but on purpose.

8. Why are you making it harder?

Why would a man devalue your feelings by saying that you're deliberately making the situation even more difficult? In most cases, men start using this phrase when women are trying to get to the bottom of the truth.

9. I gave you flowers, why are you offended?

Men often think that if they give a lady three roses or a soft toy, she will forget all their sins and immediately throw herself into their arms. But we know it doesn't work that way.

10. Love me for who I am

This phrase is more typical of an infantile teenager than a reliable man. After all, if a boyfriend really loves you, he will try to become better every day.
