What's the best way to deal with emotional blackmail from a partner?

If your partner is emotionally manipulating you in any form, chances are that you are in a toxic relationship with that person. As hard as it may be to admit, your partner does not have your best interests at heart and it is likely time to separate. Anyone who tries to take advantage of you does not really care about you, and does not deserve your time.

First of all, you yourself have to monitor and identify that such blackmail is taking place. Second, you have to face your partner that you will not accept such actions and try to talk through it.

Never feel guilty about separating yourself from that person. It is your right to make your own personal, separate plans to exit that person's life, whether or not they understand. They have proven that they are unwilling to communicate and work together with you, so it is up to you to move on, and that is okay!

Understand the reason they are using it against you. If a partner seems to be calling you out on a certain thing, chances are he/she/they are feeling as if you are not responding to them. Take a moment, find a way to talk to them with each of you having a clear mind, and talk to each other to find out the reason behind the blackmail.

Tell him to stop the blackmail, if he don't he means to harm you, so leave him.

Try to talk to someone you trust, and honestly, mindset is very important. You need to make yourself believe that self love is the most important and that you don't need to depend on anyone else emotionally.

This is such a horrible thing to go through. There is never one right or wrong answer with things like this. It is important to know that one does not have to deal with this on one's ow! Seek someone to talk about the matter and if possibly and most importantly if safe! Discuss the issue with the partner

Emotional blackmailing from partner is hard situation to deal with, but with some external support ,and by using your own ways of coping with it, the impact of it can be minimized. Consider never to give up emotionally in front of your partner, let it clear to your partner by your words that this sort of behaviour is unacceptable to you, the professional support is available for a reason, don't hesitate to seek it,

Remove yourself from the situation, surround yourself with positive people and get yourself some support.

The most important person in this world is no one else but YOU. If your partner is emotionally blackmailing you, the first thing you should be doing is talk to them about the same, if they still persist with their manipulative behavior, it seems you need to cut this person off from your life gradually. To do so, I would suggest you surround yourself with friends and family who would support you and will be able to back you up in the time of need.
