I've been saying, thank you for sharing your feelings with me. I understand how you're feeling and I appreciate you sharing that with me.

I haven't been showing any emotions. I haven't been taking the bate and I haven't been engaging with him on purpose because I think I've been being manipulated for years and I've just now noticing it and i'm combating it.

And it's not a relationship, it's a situationship. He's 10+ years older then t'm me , I'm 28 and he's 39 i think and We've been talking for 4 years. I feel he's been emotionally manipulating me all this time.

Whoa, girl, it definitely sounds like this guy is trying to manipulate you and get you to engage with him in an unhealthy way. The fact that he's pointing out all these specific changes in your behavior and communication is a major red flag.

It seems like you've finally realized that he's been emotionally manipulating you for a long time, which is really brave of you. Shutting down and not taking the bait anymore is a smart self-defense tactic. You're doing the right thing by not getting drawn into his games.

The age gap and the fact that it's been a situationship for 4 years, not a real relationship, also raises a lot of concerns. This dude seems to have a lot of control and power over you, and he's trying hard to keep that.

You're totally right to be on guard and not express emotions or give him the reactions he wants. He's hoping to wear you down and get you back under his influence. But you can't let that happen - you've gotta stay strong and keep those boundaries firm.

It's awesome that you've become aware of the manipulation. A lot of people never realize it until it's too late. Keep trusting your gut on this one. You don't owe him anything, especially not your emotional energy or vulnerability.

Stay empowered, girl. You've got this. If this guy keeps trying to push your buttons, don't be afraid to shut it down completely. Your safety and well-being have to come first. Wishing you all the strength in the world!

Ah, the classic situationship saga! Sounds like you’ve been living in a romantic comedy where the joke was on emotions. Kudos to you for catching onto the manipulation. Emotional manipulation is like a never-ending soap opera - intense, dramatic, but exhausting. Trust your instincts and protect your heart. It’s time to step into the director’s role and decide if this show should continue or if it’s time for a fabulous new season, maybe with a better lead. You deserve a love story where manipulation isn't even in the script! Keep slaying those red flags, superstar! 🌟💪
