Love Held Hostage For Money With Threats Of Infidelity And Breakup

Men have been faced for many years by entitled partners that leverage their power over their emotional well-being by threats of infidelity and breakup.

Third wave feminism has told women that anything is fair in dealing with men. If they want something (usually money), they can threaten anything the force the man’s compliance.

Whether it stating, give me what I want or another man will. At times going so far as to show pictures of other men ( in cases of online relationships) or even letting the men see their woman with another man to drive the point home.

They use a host of other veiled threats through breakups, and withholding sex tend to be gotos most used for forced compliance, especially when money is the desired outcome.

Or if they wish to do something their man either can’t do, or is unwilling to do, perhaps do to the hardship that would be caused to acquiesce to their demands.

The question is: (Should a man set boundaries then convey them to their partner, along with consequences should those boundaries be crossed?)

While I wholeheartedly believe relationships should be entered into only on the basis of desire on both sides for a long-term commitment.

I also believe narcissistic abuse, entitled actions, selfishness, and emotional abuse must be addressed, and in some cases, toxic people must be removed from your life for your emotional well-being.

There is never a good reason to allow anyone to abuse you emotionally, physically, or spiritually. Why disagreements occur in every relationship. It’s not ok to accept emotional blackmail in order to keep anyone in your life.

Further, if your partner uses such tactics in order to get their own way, you must call them on such threats, in my opinion.

Standing you ground morally if your partner refuses to compromise or if this type of victimizing behavior becomes their standard way to get what they want.

Men and women should both have clear-cut boundaries and expectations entering into a long-term relationship. As well as channels for addressing needs, disagreements, and emotional concerns.

These should not only be spelled out in advance before entering into such a union. Monogamy should be discussed, and agreed upon and boundaries set so their is never a misunderstanding later.

Conclusion: No one should ever have to be held hostage emotionally by their partner for selfish reasons. If your partner can’t agree to discussing rather than forcing their desires on the other partner.

Then, after every attempt is made to discuss reasonable solutions, then perhaps it is better to remove the individual from your life rather than live a life of continued ridicule and emotional victimization.

Never accept such abuse in your life whether it’s emotional, physical, or spiritual.

Better to be alone than held hostage by a narcissistic, controlling, toxic individual worried more about themselves than their partner in a committed long-term relationship .
