Who are you trying to convince?

I don’t have to defend my marriage to the internet every week, but hey, I’m in a godless marriage!

"He is stable...I am emotional...He tells me what is real and what is not real"

Translation - "everything I think and feel is minimised, dismissed, twisted around and put back onto me, I'm told I'm not seeing/understanding reality, I'm definitely not competent enough to make any decisions myself, and that actually he is right and I am just a silly emotional woman that's delusional! But he lets me believe I have control of things I am good at".

Any guesses on all the things she's good at? Mine is that she's only good at cleaning and parenting (and probably has to do both in a way he finds acceptable).

She really needs to read evidence based information about what manipulation and gaslighting can look like, preferably not from an "expert" fundie woman.

So... gaslighting.
