She called him a "master manipulator" and thinking back I could not agree more! Hes lied, cheated and done basically every thing a spouse shouldn't! Yet I still consider is this my fault? Was I not enough of a wife, lover and partner? OR Is this something he could not help because of the trauma he carries and ways he's been taught.

Now I know the depths of his manipulation!

Sitting here thinking about my interaction with this woman... she had the audacity to be upset with ME that he did this to her. How could he have done this to her?? How could he have done this to me? His wife, his partner, the woman who gave him everything. Yet, still I found myself in a weird place between wanting to comfort her and being angry at both of them!

Now I know the depths of his manipulation!

As a spouse there are certain things you learn to deal with ... dirty socks on the floor, no one saying "thank you for dinner", even attitudes when you ask for help with chores. Further forgetting a special day for you, like birthday or anniversary, and then making you feel bad because you didn't do enough for them on their specific holiday.

Now I know the depths of his manipulation!

However, what one should never endure is
not getting the love/care you require! Being able to trust your partner to help when asked! Remaining faithful even in the toughest of times and above all honesty and integrity!

Now I know the depths of his manipulation!
