Beyond Goodbye...

[ＥＲＯＳ]

Emotional blackmail after a breakup happens when a former partner tries to control you by using your feelings. They might use your guilt, fear, or sense of duty to get you back or to manipulate your actions. This kind of behavior can make the breakup even more painful and can slow down your recovery.
One way they might do this is by making you feel guilty. They could say things like, "You've ruined my life" to make you feel responsible. They might also make threats, such as saying they'll hurt themselves if you don't get back together with them.
Another tactic is playing the victim, where they act like they can't cope without you and that you are responsible for their well-being. They may also try to make you feel obligated by reminding you of past promises or using your children or mutual friends to pressure you. Sometimes, they may promise to change or declare their undying love to try and lure you back.
Whether it's subtle or obvious, emotional blackmail is always about taking away your control and freedom to make your own choices.

Love should lift you, not burden you with fear and guilt..don't let your kindness be an obligation.. Emotional blackmail.. guilt tripping and manipulation are their weapons to destroy u..

This quotation is a reminder

"It’s not your job to set yourself on fire to keep them warm.”

Well expressed!

Emotional blackmail after a breakup can be particularly challenging to navigate. It's a manipulative tactic that exploits emotions like guilt, fear, and obligation to control the other person's actions or decisions.
It's essential to prioritize your own emotional well-being and autonomy in such situations. Setting clear boundaries, seeking support from trusted friends, family, and focusing on self-care can help you navigate these challenges and move forward.
