He wasn't aware of what was going on until I told him on Monday what my theory was about the cause of Friday's depression. So, he went along "willingly" (he laid it on thick), but I don't think I would say that he was aware while doing that.
I have trouble with the "manipulation" word. For me, it connotes a purposeful act. But I think that I need to redefine "manipulation" to include unconscious actions that cause someone else to do something they wouldn't otherwise do. If you read my posts, I throw in the word "unconsciously" a lot - because to me it makes a big difference if something is done consciously or unconsciously.
And, yes, having him in tune with what is going on with me is truly wonderful.
