Do you know this man?
Following is a quiz to help identify the kind of controller who can cause the typical pleaser more than a little grief.
Telltale Signs of the Controller
• Does he speak with disrespect or anger about other women who have been part of his life?
• Does he have a temper; does he get visibly angry or hostile?
• Has he ever hit you, treated you roughly, or threatened to hurt you?
• Does he try to take advantage of you sexually, or make sexual demands upon you?
• Does drinking alcohol--even a modest amount--start to bring out a "different kind of person"?
• Does he use or enjoy humor that puts down or degrades others in subtle--or not so subtle--ways?
• Does he always have to win in sports, table games, and other competitive activities?
• Does he often complain about employers or supervisors who "don't know what they're doing"?
• Does he usually "get his way" in deciding when and where you will eat, where you will go, what you will do?
If this describes the man in your life, then The Pleasers: Women Who Can't Say No and the Men Who Control Them may be the most important book you'll ever read.
