6 Signs Your Partner Is Not Being Honest

In the relationship we're supposed to get love, care, and support, but sometimes we end up checking out like a theater doll from our partner.

Note that all the information given in this article is subjective.

You're the one who's guilty. Always. Have you ever asked for help and received an answer along the lines of “don't you think I might be busy too? I said it before I had a lot to do! Why do you always think only of yourself? And you're only guilty here because you asked for help. If so, your partner is likely to be one of the few people around whom the world is spinning.

And they're victims. Always. Manipulators use this trick to search for a “negative” or when trying to avoid responsibility. If you notice that your partner often feeds you thousands of emotional stories about the calamities of their lives, this may be the case. However, do not confuse this with that one when your partner is expressing his feelings with you. A manipulator tries to profit.

They provoke. If a manipulator no longer has arguments, they may try to provoke you as a last resort. They might say things that would make a normal person doubt the state of mind of a manipulator or do anything to cause negative emotions and make you angry. The purpose of this is to involve you in a meaningless dispute and to say something that the manipulator can use in their defense.

They push. The less time we have to decide, the less time we have to think. Manipulators push you to make faster decisions so you can't really think about them. That's why it's a matter of global importance to give an answer in a minute or so. Preston Ni, of psychology today, recommends that it is best not to make an immediate decision. Instead, take time to think. If your partner is still pushing you, it's good to slow them down by saying you'll think about it.

Your problems? Never heard of them. Another common thing about manipulators is they don't really want to know. If you want to talk about your problems and share your feelings, a manipulative partner will most likely do one of these: Avoid conversation, and make yourself busy. Turn the conversation towards their problems: “It's terrible that you've been given this extra job today, but can you imagine how I feel when I have to deal with it every day?” Do you think your partner will really be worried about your problems after that?
