I've noticed a pattern when someone is emotionally manipulative. This is just what I've seen and experienced; I'm sure that there are variations.
At first, the person is usually very nice. It makes sense, because we all tend to put our best faces on when we first meet somebody.
Later on is when the signs become evident. Usually, someone who is emotionally manipulative is insecure, so if they're feeling sad, they want you to feel the same way. So, they tend to bring you down by calling you names (idiot, stupid, etc.) or undermining your accomplishments ("You know, it's really not that big of a deal that you got a raise at work."). By doing so, they make you feel bad, right? At that moment, they have control over your emotions, and they know it. Those kinds of people thrive off of this manipulation, and they will pull this trick multiple times.
Sometimes, it's difficult to spot someone who is emotionally manipulative, but with a lot of observation, it becomes easier to catch.

The fact that you are asking this question, makes me want to straight up say Yes, you are being emotionally manipulated. It's hard to answer this question, because you have provided no facts or reasoning for your question. I will try to help you determine the answer for yourself.
1. It's time to do some soul searching within yourself. Do you know who you are? Are you the same person you used to be?
2. Have you been here before and you are associating past manipulation with your current situation?
3.Are you always questioning yourself?
4.Are you always the one apologizing or being made blame for something?
5.Do you find yourself rationalizing for her or yourself?
6. Do you tell status lies as a way of covering up a situation with her or something she said or did?
7. Do you feel used and are you actually being used?
8. Have you changed as a person to calm or settle situation?
9.Have you lost friends or associates in order to please her instead of by your own choice and reason?
10.Do you feel like you are walking on egg shells when communicating with her?
11. Do you have an open communication, spiritual, physical, mental realm established and is it equivalent?
12. Do you have a voice or are you passive to avoid conflict?
13. Has your image of who you are changed for the Negative? Do you look down on yourself?
If you find that most of your HONEST answers reflect as negative, then yes you are being manipulated. If you want to email me exact information for an exact answer, please send to sophia_pettus@yahoo.com. I will answer you.
Life is too short, sweetness, be happy and LOVE YOURSELF. You must do this before you can love anyone else!!! Good luck and take care.
