Do you know anyone like this? They can be hard to spot because they’re often very charismatic and make you feel like they have your best interest at heart — when really it’s their own interests that they’re focused on. Emotional manipulation is one of the characteristics of emotional abuse or a narcissist. Stable, happy relationships with these individuals can be nearly impossible until they’re willing to take steps to change. That change doesn’t happen overnight, however, it takes time.

I focus a lot on how to help men improve themselves and their lives, but ladies you have a role in this as well. Men as much as women need their partners to help them feel special and appreciated. We often think of men as being stoic and without emotion, but that’s simply not the case. The more men feel loved and respected by you the stronger the bond will be between you.

We've all known that person – the one that says “I’ll do ya one better” to nearly everything. As though there's something to win by having the best story. Often we encounter them at parties or other group events. But what if that person is someone you see every day, or are even romantically involved with?

People often feel like claiming something is a “mistake” absolves them of responsibility and consequences. They can also confuse making a mistake for making a poor choice. If you've cheated, telling someone that it was a “mistake” can be insulting. You didn’t buy the wrong kind of fabric softener - you shared intimacy with someone outside of your relationship. That isn’t an accident, it didn’t just happen - it was a choice.
