I fully agree with you. Classic case of manipulation was her controlling ade into liking that restaurant when he clearly was not that impressed. I am suspecting that her and that ex of hers clashed for control, I know a manipulative bully when I see one, she obviously could not control her ex like she can ade. The little girl routine is used routinely to reel him in whenever he almost figures her out. She can role play the submissive stepford wife at the drop of a sausage roll, ades just a thick knob who notices nothing except the worlds best sausage bap.Lisa likes to sensationalise everything for effect. Anything she can say or do to dramatise even the most mundane everyday issues is her MO.
It is classic narcissistic behaviour to ensure all eyes are on her, all thoughts are on her, that she controls the narrative and all those around her. Ade is unfortunately too coerced to see how manipulative she is and I doubt he has many friends because of it. He’s not even allowed his own opinion let alone friends.
