In this segment, the speaker identifies the third red flag of a toxic partner: the use of guilt and manipulation to control the relationship. They explain that a healthy partnership should not involve feeling constantly at fault or being pressured to act against one’s own standards. The speaker provides concrete examples, such as always feeling responsible for problems, the partner playing the victim to shift blame, and being coerced into actions that conflict with personal values. These behaviors are presented as clear signs of manipulation, urging listeners to recognize and avoid such dynamics.

Chapters

The third red flag is that she uses guilt or manipulation to control you. You deserve a partner, not a puppeteer. No relationship can be healthy if there's manipulation or guilt. Some examples of guilt would be if you always feel like everything's your fault, even if you had nothing to do with it. Or if you feel like everything in the relationship is your fault. Or maybe she plays the victim card and you just need to fix it. These are signs of her manipulating you and causing you to feel guilty. One key sign that you are being manipulated is if you do something that goes against your standards or your values, you do something you would never do because you feel pressured by this other person. It's a key sign that you're being manipulated. Even if it's not something that's necessarily wrong, it just doesn't feel like you're staying true to yourself.
