How to Get Rid of a Manipulative Girlfriend

Getting rid of a girlfriend is quite dicey, often leading to unexpected repercussions, and breaking-up with a manipulative girlfriend is even more challenging. The reason is simple—being manipulative, she obviously knows how to take charge of your emotions, forcing you to think and act according to what she deems is acceptable.

If this particularly tricky aspect is not handled properly, you could end-up being overwhelmed with guilt, as she overpowers your viewpoint using her manipulative skills. You might be caught in a relationship where you are always want to exit but keep getting sucked back into by her manipulative maneuvering. So, how do you solve this predicament? The following tips will help you:

1. Choosing the Right Break-up Place

You might be thinking of breaking up in a way that doesn’t involve face to face interaction with her since she might get an opportunity to manipulate your emotions with her facial expressions. However, you need to be courageous and do the exact opposite. Choose a crowded place where she cannot comprehensively engage your attention. The more crowded and louder the spot, the better it is for you. It solves many purposes.

For starters, she wouldn’t be able to blame you for choosing an undignified way of breaking-up like an SMS. Secondly, the commotion surrounding you won’t provide her sufficient space and a calm environment that would be required to coercing you into thinking that she is heartbroken. This gives you the leverage of being able to announce the breakup without being confronted too harshly. She would think a thousand times before trying to create a ruckus as it would engage too much attention.

2. Distribute the Blame

Don’t take the blame entirely on you or she will get the opportunity to walk all over your plans and make you feel guilty. Don’t push the entire blame on her as she might get the chance to manipulate a heart-felt apology that you will find hard to resist. Take the middle path of distributing the blame. Tell her that you find her too overbearing and the compatibility just isn't there. Take partial blame for not being emotionally strong to correct such things and being too impatient for investing time into this relationship. The reasons should be such that they give her the minimal chance of using any leverage to induce pity or sympathy from you.

3. Keeping Yourself Emotionally Strong is Recommended

Breaking-up is hard anyways and if your girlfriend is manipulative, there is every chance that she might try to challenge your reasons for ending the relationship. You need to be emotionally strong. Listen to her reasoning but don’t give-in. Tell her that you understand her perspective but your mind is made-up. Bring-up issues like you are sure that marriage is not meant for someone like you and you don’t see this relationship having a future.
