    - Tells you who you SHOULDN'T hang out with...(mainly your own friends)

    -Tells you what to wear..or what not to wear...or he'll probably tell you that you look like a s l u t..even if you don't think so.

    - Calls you TOO much and asks you who you're with, where you are, what you're doing.

    - If you have a cell phone he'll probably delete or ask about all the -guys- numbers you have.

    - When they do something to hurt you, they'll say sorry and all that stuff...and when you forgive them they'll do it again...and again...and again. and you'll keep telling yourself they'll change. (but deep down inside they wont) < - That's probably not 'manipulation' but eventually...he'll have you brainwashed or something...

    -Oh and you should never let him say...."If I can't have you, no one can". That's not a good thing...

    Anddd yeah. I can't think of anything else. Or maybe those are just signs of really bad jealousy. But either way...it all turns out wrong in the end....well most times...

    I was in a very manipulative relationship last year. He would be really moody with me and never make time to see me until I couldn't handle it. When I dared say anything, he would throw it back at me making me feel guilty. He would tell my friends about it, and manipulated them into thinking it too. Only when we split up, they talked and realised he constantly played us off against each other.
    If he makes you feel like you can't do anything right, he is manipulating you. And don't be shocked if no one else can see it, because he could be doing the same to them.
