How to Get Rid of a Manipulative Boyfriend  
HOW TO 

Tags: Manupulative Lover, Break up, Dating

Get control back and break up with your manipulative lover.

1.	Get support from a close friend or family member.
2.	Make a solid plan for how you will separate, what you will do after that if he tries to "get you to take him back" and makes you think it will all be better.
3.	Be absolutely solid in what you want for yourself.
4.	Make little reminders for yourself that you will see daily, throughout the day, that will strengthen you. (Things like a phrase or thought that when you read it will make you strong--or will remind you of why you need to do this (like a specific time you were manipulated and didn't like it).
5.	Add one or two new things into your life that you are scheduled to do. Like sign up for a yoga class (this helps you to focus your mind and body on your own relaxation and strength as well as gives your body good exercise). Take a free class at a local library or museum, join a amateur sports club, or take music lessons. If you cannot afford to do something that costs money, then go to the library and find out about someone that teaches or knows something you'd like to know more about, and offer to trade services with that person so you can have a scheduled class.
6.	Remain strong knowing that you're doing what you want and need instead of wondering what you're going to do.
7.	Find out if there are assertiveness training classes from your local police department or women's center. These are often free and will give you good tips that help you to be strong and assertive.
