This will provide you with the most common manipulation strategies narcissists use on women and how to counter it. Anytime you find yourself in an on and off relationship with a guy, it’s never gonna work out. Toxic manipulators don’t see a big deal in arguing they are used to arguing and you cannot get used to that kind of relationship. If they expect you to be their number one after two months then run. 

Narcissists didn’t just need more attention, they need everything from you. You are an object to him, an extension to himself. One of the ways they trap you is for you to be financially dependent to them. They put you in a position where you cannot maneuver yourself. Always retain an air of independence.
