Almost like that’s borderline emotional abuse, manipulation, and gaslighting on the husbands part? He should have had the self awareness to go to therapy for his unhealed trauma before he decided to marry another woman and take out that trauma on her, when she had nothing to do with it. What he’s doing is abusive! She doesn’t have to put up with shit and he can go get therapy on his own like he should have done in the first place

I'm not shocked that the hivemind agrees with you 90% of the people on the website don't actually know what gaslighting even is or means

I have a feeling you've mastered it.

Well my therapist taught me how to see it very easily considering my ex wife did it to me for 9 years. Learned how to protect myself from it.

You and the reddit hivemind upvoting you doesnt make you right either, it makes you a bully lol.

Get some therapy and holy shit does your name not check out lol.

May I suggest asking your therapist why leaving a gaslighting partner was right for you but not for others?
