There are people who find it very easy to manipulate others in order to achieve their own interests. Love is a very effective double-edged sword for this purpose, but not the love felt by the manipulator—they are actors—but rather the love felt by the person who is being manipulated. Not everyone manages to receive wise advice in time, and even if they do, it does not mean that they will not end up falling into the trap, especially with the habit that many people have of wanting to control every situation.
I liked the story. Very interesting.
Gracias por tu lectura y valioso comentario, amigo mío. En efecto, la manipulación es un "comodín" muy utilizado en las relaciones de pareja, de amigos, incluso, familiares; y no resulta nada fácil zafarse de ella. Sobre todo, cuando sentimos que nuestra vida solo tiene sentido cuando estamos con la persona que amamos o creemos amar.
Un abrazo.
