What is it called when your partner tries to make their idea your idea as well?

Whenever there's a situation my partner always says something like "im sure you don't want to do it either" or "i know you probably don't want to do that"

It's called "gaslighting." It's a form of manipulation that's designed to make you doubt your own thoughts and feelings. When your partner says things like "I know you probably don't want to do that," they're trying to make you think that you're the one who doesn't want to do something, when in reality, they're the ones who don't want to do it. This can be a very effective way to control someone, because it can make you feel like you're crazy or that you're wrong. If you're experiencing gaslighting, it's important to talk to a therapist or counselor who can help you deal with it.
