“They always one-up you. No matter what problems you may have, emotional manipulators have it worse.

“When it comes to the sex, don’t sulk if you don’t get everything you asked Santa for — only people in relationships are allowed to complain when things don’t go their way in bed (and even then they should stop focusing on the negative and just be grateful someone puts up with them).”— Em Lo, yourtango.com
