Im sorry to say that I can manouvre my husband into doing what i want, I used to do it all the time when we were first married and im ashamed to say that i was a proper cow really. I got all my own way in everything and didnt treat him very well at all. Things are differnet now i have seen the error of my ways, but i know that i could still be manipulative if i wanted to be (which i dont, ive learnt to be fair),

The Celestine Prophecy is a novel written combining elements of Redfields spiritual and philosophical ideas and focuses a lot on coincidences. Personally I thought it was poo and I regretted wasting the time I spent reading it. I am good with words when I can be bothered, and can use words to manipulate if I wish but mostly I choose not to.

read all of that book line. found it very interesting. I found the mirror of many of my thoughts from years back. along with some of the expansions I with some never bothered to follow up on and others couldnt/didnt sus my self. found it to be interesting.
to answer the question, um well once I worked in sales. I got the name golden boy. say enough? I can do. I dont like it. Having your own way means theres no space for anything else, it becomes like a surrounding bubble that reflects you back only. some people thrive on this. I cant stand it and feel like Im locked in.
there is a diffrence in controlling/manipulating and requesting and interacting.

Thanks, I think I will read that book as well. Oh and by the way, I was wondering if you could give me your visa #. I work in a small factory that doesn't pay much and really would like to get my wife a great birthday gift. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me so I feel I could thank her the right way. Your help would really help me and maybe someday I could return the favour to you or someone else who really needs it.

I have a way with words, and I am always polite. This ensures that I get my point across. I don't consider it manipulation. When you are softly direct, many times you can attain satisfaction, without hurting or upsetting the other person.

I have a way with words, but i don't use them to my advantage for bad. I use them to get me out of sticky situations or sweet talking is always a plus when you're good with words.

I don't have to manoeuvre. i just ask straight out. But i always start my request with the owrds
'Would you ............?'
It rarely brings a no answer and if it does it does not bother me.
