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

The best way of dealing with emotional blackmail is to be oneself and never allow another person to get the upper hand on your emotions. One should not do what the blackmailers tell the to do. In case of threats, they should be reported to the authorities. The faster the threats are handled, the better. One could also try reasoning with the person but this option is not for all blackmailers. One could reason by making them understand their emotional situation. This may be by asking them such questions: If it were you, how best could you have reacted emotionally, in this situation? If it were you, how would you feel if your emotions were used to blackmail you?

That person is not behaving like a true partner. It is not something anyone should ever have to go through, and it's wrong that you are. This isn't on you. You don't have to put up with this. If you feel they are blackmailing you, the only way to deal with it is get out. Get out of that situation. Get out of the relationship if you can. Don't let this happen, because if you let them get away with it once, they'll do it again. You have to save yourself from this, as quickly as you can. Tell them you won't stand for being blackmailed, and that if this is how they'll be, you're not going to continue the relationship.

If a partner is blackmailing you, it can be a large red warning flag the relationship may be becoming toxic or unhealthy. Talking to your partner is very important, so make you sure you make them aware of how you feel, even if they brush it aside. Partners who use abusive tactics tend to follow a cycle, so it's important that you learn to recognise the signs and learn to avoid their behaviours. This may be things like: being more assertive about the things you want and need, ignoring their demands, communicating more, compromising, not being afraid or guilty to say no to them.

First step is to identify it as an emotional blackmail, whether it's in terms of making you feel like the culprit or asking you to do things for that person, if you said no then they should respect that. The next step would be to take a step back from them and do something that you yourself enjoy which relaxes you so you can think about everything that's happening. The last step is to stand up for yourself and tell that person that what they're doing is not okay and that it's making you uncomfortable. You have every right to out your self first and step away from something that doesn't make you feel like your best self

This is a difficult question. It sounds to me like you're talking about gaslighting. I was with someone who did this to me, and even now it's difficult to say a definitive way to deal with an emotionally blackmailing partner. It drains you emotionally and physically. All I can say is, if you suspect that your partner is emotionally blackmailing you, address the situation. Ask for opinions. If it is the case that this is happening, then you need to end it immediately! You need to think of yourself and your own happiness 💕 A lot of people don't, and forget how to truly live.

It's always tough to deal with something that's external, because we can't control or change others. I find it helpful to remember the control circle - you can put the things to concern yourself with in a control circle, things you can control. Things that you can't control then go out of the circle. The things you can control are your own reactions and emotions surrounding that emotional blackmail. How are you going to react? How do you feel about what they are doing? That way, you can work through your own feelings about it in a realistic way and then make a decision on how you want to react to that. I hope this helps, I know it can be so hurtful in these situations so I am thinking of you!

you stand up for yourself and you tell them that you do not deserve to be treated in such a way. If someone is doing that have an assertive conversation with the,, if it gets to a point where you can't stand it- make sure you get help. Remember you are not alone and help will be given to those who seek it. I would also think about why you are in a relationship with someone toxic and mentally abusive. I think it would be wise to take a step back and reflect on what has happened and the choices you can take.

When dealing with emotional blackmail from a partner, one needs to take a step back and assess all aspects of what is going on. Having a clear plan of attack to stop the person from mistreating you is the best way to stop it from happening and getting the person to stop acting in such a way. The person that is doing the emotional blackmail may be neglecting to see the damage they may be causing the person involved. Some people refuse to see the big picture and do things before realizing the effect their actions can have on a person.

If you are experiencing emotional blackmail from a partner, I would definitely recommend speaking to someone you trust face-to-face because then you feel as if you're fighting this battle with someone else. Another recommendation I might be able to suggest is to speak to the partner in a safe and open environment like a public park/bench on a well walked path because if anything bad happens then there's other people who could help. If the partner is being abusive physically or using blackmail as emotional abuse, then it would be advisable to speak to local authorities and receive professional guidance and support.

I believe the best way to deal with emotional blackmail from a partner is to evaluate how often it happens, and how it makes you feel. Sometimes we tell ourselves it's just because the partner is having a bad day, but sometimes it may be more often and worse than we think. As they say, love is blind. Emotional blackmail can make us feel obligated to do something even if we do not want to. Sometimes staying with the partner who is committing emotional blackmail is a toxic environment and you will find yourself not being able to grow with your partner in this environment because one or both parties are unhappy. The best thing to do is to try and confront your partner about how emotional blackmail makes you feel, and if they do not listen leave. Sometimes we do not realize it was a toxic environment until we have left the relationship.
