Gaslighting at its finest!!!!!

[Sunsetluv]

Very frustrated and really disappointed in my partners behaviour. Whenever he is stressed through work I’m always the emotional punching bag.

Yesterday he gaslight me. He made a comment then I pulled him up about it he totally denied it. And was like what are you talking about.

He then switches to being nice again. I swear he has mental issues and his work stress has completely changed him. He has his own business but can’t stand not being in control of anything in his life. His dad was a control freak so now I fear he’s doing the same thing.

Thanks for reading my rant.

Hi, he is choosing to gaslight and treat you as his own emotional punchbag…

If he has mental health issues it is his responsibility to get help and is separate to how he is treating you.  There’s never an excuse to treat your partner the way he is treating you.  Id he was raised by a controlling parent then you wouod think he would know how destructive controlling behaviour is.

Have you reached out to Live Women’s Aid Chat? They can be helpful.

It only gets worse.
your post is very familiar to what I’ve lived through.

It sounds like a frustrating and disappointing situation.

My abuser also has their own business and apparently has been on the verge of bankruptcy for decades, often asking me to pay business bills etc. I realise now that it’s all lies and they basically stole from me all whilst giving me a sob story about their own abusive childhood. And more lies about their work stress and allegedly poor mental health.

I now live far away from my abuser but many years later they are still running the same business. Maybe they have smarmed their way into another victim’s life and manipulated them to prop up their business.

I’m sorry that you’re experiencing such unpleasant behaviour.
