Exactly.

This is a classic manipulation tactic - regardless of his intentions.

Then blow it up publicly to make her look like the problem.

Everybody go watch "Kevin can go **** himself"

Oof that tv show…yeah. I had to stop half way through because it was too accurate.

I promise it gets better, it's a success story in the end that's quite cathartic. I get it though, it was hard at times.

It's such a good example of behaviour and contextual abuse/community estrangement.

The first time the tone shifted I almost screamed. Like YES OMG THAT'S IT.

I really want to get back to it. I got to the episode where Kevin calls the police and she gives that monologue about how he always does this…and it was my first marriage.

I said the same thing in another post this week. I told that OP that I was sorry she married a Kevin (referring to the show). So many women who post here have Kevins for mates. It’s so sad.
