I wouldn't trust someone who admits to being a manipulator to give you good advice. You will just be another target to them having exposed yourself like this. As normal people about it as that behavior is pretty obvious to someone who isn't caught up in it. We are the worst about examining our own backs...but others can see them more clearly.

Whatever you're going through I hope it all works out ok. I'm not an expert in love but I think in any type of relationship if someone is doing things to upset you it maybe shouldn't matter so much if other people are involved, and finding that out may be more unsettling than it's worth. It should just be enough to know you don't like how you're being treated and to move on to hopefully someone you don't have to feel suspicious of.

I think people don't always know when they are being manipulative so a womanizer may not even be aware of their manipulative behavior. If they learned it from a role model when they were growing up then it may just be normal behavior to them.

A womanizer knows exactly what he is doing. He consciously manipulates simply for the kick of it.

Hey OP, I don't know how serious you feel it is but would an anonymous hotline be useful to you? Or a dometic abuse hotline? www.rainn.org or https://www.acf.hhs.gov/fysb/programs/family-violence-prevention-services/programs/ndvh . If someone is taking financial advantage of you you can look at https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog for red flags or the publications from regulatory body of your country if they have that. If it's more casual you could browse around some other forums to get a feel for someone in your similar situation? Consider your sources there though..

I hope you're ok. It's not worth being treated badly in this short life- but it could be not so simple...

Thank you, Wolfjob_dayjob, for this info. That was very thoughtful of you. I'm good now.
