signs to recognize a possessive and manipulative woman
When we talk about possessiveness in love, we often think of women. On the other hand, when it comes to manipulation, there is often a tendency to associate it with men. And yet, it is obvious that possession and manipulation can be, in love, the fact of both without distinctions of gender. Bad behavior is not the “exclusive preserve” of men and some women can be equally cruel and toxic. A possessive woman is often described as a jealous woman, sometimes awkwardly.
But what about when this possessiveness is associated with manipulation in the couple?

The signs to recognize a possessive and manipulative woman
There are two kinds of manipulative women
- The Narcissistic Manipulator
She needs to dominate to feel superior in her romantic relationship (and in her relationships with others in general). For this, she does not hesitate to humiliate, demean or make her partner feel guilty in case of dissatisfaction, frustration or anger.
