[quote=Anonymous]I would also caution you against using arguments against doing this that involve things they can argue with. Ex: "I cannot do that again, it wasn't good for our relationship." Potential response: "That's not true. I don't feel our relationship was damaged." Now you're back where you were when you originally confronted them and setting yourself up for more hurt. Ex. "It created tension between us." Potential response: "There was no tension, at least not on our part. If there was tension, you created it." Back where you started. I'm not saying that sharing your feelings is a bad thing, but with manipulators, they'll just find a way to argue that they don't matter. So don't give them any reason beyond that it doesn't work for you anymore, it just won't be possible this time around. Any reason you give should be unarguable. [/quote]
