Talk about it and tell them that it's not okay. Take a stand for yourself and don't give in to them until they see your point.

Well you could try to speaking to them directly and trying to solve the problem they may have with you or you could try speakiing to a parent for advice or both.

Well, I think the first step is to realize that you need to get away from said partner. Obviously this is the source of the pain. You will need to work through it all, involving support from the ones that you love, friends and family. Be open. Be willing to express these problems with people. Love always wins.

The best way is to distance yourself from them as much as you possibly can. You should not be blackmailed by anyone and it always helps to talk to someone to trust and ask for help.

I found that telling someone I trusted really helped. By someone else knowing, it reduced the leverage they had over me.

Take a step back and observe your emotions and his actions. How are you feeling? What is your partner doing, and how are you reacting to their actions? Talk to your friends and family but try to look at things objectively

This can be really hard, but not impossible. I;d talk to your partner and be honest about what they are doing and how unhealthy it is for you and the relationship. Blackmailing is same as manipulation. And having that in your relationship doesn't work out. Be firm but kind on your talk with them also have an open mind to what they share to you.

Talk to them about this. Be direct and calm when explaining how their behavior makes you feel. "I feel like ____, when you do ______" You have to brainstorm with your partner on how to communicate and compromise rather than manipulate each other.
