Manipulation is a two-way street. We all manipulate. Ignoring phone calls to get the spouse to want to speak to you more is a form of manipulation. Do you really believe that women manipulate and men are passive recipients of manipulation? I don't. All the advice given here is on how to manipulate the spouse.
I don't believe any sex is incapable of manipulation.
I do believe if you are trying to manipulate, you are NOT doing the DB process correctly.
I didn't tell John to ignore a phone call. I'm telling him based on what he is getting from someone who CHEATED on him 3 times and has F'd up his head into thinking that HE IS responsible is BS! Sure he wants to save his marriage, but at what expense? His dignity?
Is it fair to say John is manipulating his Wife ? NO.
