So I've lived with a guy for at least 5 years. We met online close to 10 years ago.

I've recently come to see this side of him where he tried to get in good with people he likes creatively in order to get something out of them. It's been small video game companies and a few webcomic artists. He becomes a completely different person when he interacts with them.

It just occurred to me that he did that to me and now I'm kinda mad.

He's also tried to include me in it by using the fact that I've done fanart for a game company to get them to recognize me even when I asked him not to because I think it seems clingy? Probably not the right word.. but that weird fan that won't stop trying to show the company their fanart even if they've already seen it.

I'll forget about it tomorrow but I felt like sharing.

Dunno, Anon. If you've known him 10 years and you're only just now feeling this way, it seems like it might be that you're angry about him violating your privacy rather than suddenly perceiving a flawed character. I don't know you or him, though, so I might be wrong.

Huh, I'm in a similar situation. Only replace 'manipulating people for stuff' with 'cheated'.

Sometimes people are really good at hiding things about themselves. For the longest time he was so sweet and considerate and faithful, and now I'm seeing things differently. It doesn't help that I've been struggling alone with what happened, and he finally told me he doesn't care at all about how it made me feel and to just get over it. 'It's just sex, I've had sex with women before you!' He's like an entirely different person now.

I think you should talk to him about it. Really stress to him that you don't want to be part of it and that it's unfair to include you when you do not wish to be included.

Sounds like your guy enjoys schmoozing and manipulation to get what he wants. It's not a very nice trait, so I'm not surprised it bothers you. One thing though... if he does it to companies and you think he's done it to you re: getting stuff out of people, it's likely that this is who he is and how he interacts with people. How does he treat people when he doesn't want anything from them, or--and this is an important distinction-- when he feels they have nothing he wants? If the answer is "like a second class citizen" or "like shit", then it's time to plan your exit strategy, OP.
