You cannot manipulate your partner's emotions; such an attempt is never productive and rarely goes unnoticed. There are, however, tactics you can use to influence your partner's behavior for mutually beneficial outcomes.  Communicating feelings and desired outcomes calmly and openly can create a bond as well as mutually acceptable agreements. Establish shared goals that both partners care about, as well as having respectful dialogues are important to foster emotional connection between partners. Additionally expressing gratitude creates trust and understanding. Showing compassion helps a person feel accepted and supported, therefore it’s key to maintain connections positively with respectfulness in any relationship.

Since your partner is very emotionally strong, you will need to find subtle ways to manipulate their emotions. Playing off of their weak spots and using guilt or other emotional methods would likely be more effective than direct approaches. For example, attempting to draw them in with compliments, expressing deep affection or empathy in times of need are tactics you can employ to get an emotional reaction from your partner.
