Nothing says Britain more than a nice cup of tea. We know we have China to thank for introducing tea to the Western world. But how did it make its way to England and become the cultural obsession it is today? Well, that's all thanks to one Portuguese woman. The year, 1662. The person, Catherine of Braganza. She just won the hand of England's King Charles II with the help of a very large dowry including money, treasures, and spices. This worthwhile trade made her the Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland. When she arrived to her new homeland, she brought with her packets of leaf tea in crates labeled “Transporte de Ervas Aromaticas.” It's a theory that this was later abbreviated(缩写的) to T-E-A, tea. Before Catherine drank tea, tea was already found and was only really used for medicinal purposes in the UK.. Catherine continued drinking tea to her heart's content. And as the new royal, everything about her, including her beverage habits, was copied by other ladies desperate to be just like their idol. Another thing Catherine brought to the table from Portugal was the idea of tea drinking experience. She made the use of porcelain teacups and mugs popular. By the end of the 17th century, much of British aristocracy()贵族were enjoying the hot beverage. Today, while tea can be found pretty much everywhere, it remains a special daily pastime for the Brits.

Emotional blackmail is a very dysfunctional dynamic that happens in some relationships. It is a form of manipulation that a person uses to make demands on and threaten their victims to get what they want.
Usually, the manipulator uses fear, guilt or obligation to get what they want. Some forms of emotional blackmail can be overt and shocking, Easy examples of this kind of emotional blackmail are 'This is for your own good' or 'You'll be sorry if you.
On the flip side, some of them can be very subtle or cavalier, like guilt-tripping.
For instance, "A friend would loan me money. How can you say you're my friend and not help me out when I'm in a bind like this?"
Pressuring or reminding someone of their duties can be another low-key tactic of emotional blackmail. Let's say your mom wants you to come home to visit and help out your family, but you don't think it's smart way. "But this is family. This is what you're supposed to do for each other," she might say. This tactic is meant to invoke a sense of obligation.
Emotional blackmail isn't always malicious, though it can be used as a conscious means of strategic control ― a means to an end to get what they want.
If you believe you're being emotionally blackmailed by someone, remember that it's not your job to take responsibility for another person's actions and choices. It's important to talk calmly and rationally about the behavior and find out why your partner or friend believes you're at fault for his actions. Don't accept responsibility for their actions.
