is, because they’ll completely disregard this fact, given that
                              they’re never satisfied unless they can control every aspect of

                              your life. A manipulative partner will refuse to acknowledge
                              your right to privacy, and has no problems spinning lies and guilt
                              to make you out to be the bad guy when you try to protect your
                              privacy. They make you feel like you’re the one who has
                              something to hide, that you’re the one who cannot be trusted

                              because you choose to keep your emails or text messages
                              private. They’ll even try to make you feel bad for protecting your
                              diary if you have one. The manipulator thirsts for control, and

                              when they can’t get it, they resort to any means necessary to try
                              and invade your privacy. Your privacy is your right, and you
                              should never have to feel forced to reveal what you’re not
                              comfortable with. Manipulators might demand access to your
                              passwords, social media accounts, and even more private

                              information by spinning some tale about how they’re “afraid”
                              that you might break their heart by cheating on them. They could
                              even tell you tales of how they have been cheated on in the past

                              and how much it hurt them to have their hearts broken that way
                              (even though it may not be true). The point is, they’ll tell you
                              whatever story it takes to get you to feel guilty enough to reveal
                              your private information, even going so far as to claim that two
                              people who are in love should never have secrets from each

                              other. However, there is a big difference between being secretive
                              and having a right to privacy, and being in a relationship does
                              not mean you have to sacrifice the latter.



                              They Talk a Lot About “Protecting” You - Which is, of
                              course, nothing but another lie when it’s coming from the

                              manipulator. They’re not protecting you, they’re not even
                              thinking about that when all they care about is their own self-
                              interest. Deep down, who wouldn’t love the idea of knowing that
                              there’s someone out there who loves them enough to protect

                              them from the big bad world? That person does exist, just not
                              with a manipulator, unfortunately. When you love someone,
