M. Krass- I wholeheartedly agree. Manipulation is probably one of the worst things in the world in general, nevermind an individual relationship. I've been in a relationship where it was exactly as angier said- it was extremely childish, disrespectful, and made me feel worse than hell. She would run away, pretending I hurt her (example- we were at the mall, I asked her if I could stop into radio shack to pick up some rechargeable batteries- she yelled at me for disrespecting her by not doing what she wanted to do, as we proceeded to walk into all the stores that peaked her interest), yell at me for the littlest things, she hated FIRST with a passion, and cheated on me with more people than I can count, all the while expecting me to stand there and maintain any sort of feeling for her. For a very short time, I was just happy to have anyone. I would ride my bike 10 to get from my house to her house. When I told her my feelings for her were in jeopardy by what she was doing, she got pissed off, kicked me, and ran away, with a very snide tone of voice, expecting me to follow and apologize with chocolates and roses. For 9 months I was stupid enough to do so, fearing heartbreak and lonliness, until I realized she was doing more damage to my heart than solitude could ever do. Needless to say, she pestered me with insulting emails, kicking me in the hallway at school, and badmouthing me to everyone she talked to. If that's not the definition of childish, callus, and lousy, I don't know what is. M. Krass- right on, keep posting your opinions, odds are, there's enough people on this forum that many will agree.
