Gaslighting – Is Your Cheating Spouse Gaslighting You?
A cunning cheating spouse will go far to protect that “have their cake and eat it situation” they have going on. They will even go as far as to play havoc with your mind and attempt to screw you that way!
It’s called “Gaslighting!” and it has to be one of the most cruelest aspects of having to deal with a cheating spouse.
What is Gaslighting?
Put simply, Gaslighting is when you confront your cheating lying spouse and point blank ask “what’s going on with her in accounts?” Your spouse answers you by denying anything’s going on. He tells you it’s all in your mind, you’re crazy and he’s sick of being accused and spied on when he’s done nothing wrong.
You are left feeling guilty and ashamed that you could’ve even thought he would cheat on you, never mind the fact that you’ve actually come out and accused him of cheating on you! You’re mortified with yourself!
You apologize and tell him you do trust him, you just made a silly mistake and tell him you’ll never do it again!
Guess what? You’ve just been Gaslighted!
Gaslighting is a vicious psychological technique that is used on the unsuspecting and the trusting to undermine them and get them to start doubting their own minds.
Could anything be more cruel?
When you discover you’ve been Gaslighted there are usually two emotions: “I knew I was right!” and “Why?” which both lead to anger and sadness.
Don’t doubt yourself! If you have good reason to wonder and to question, don’t let a selfish and cruel spouse undermine you.
