"Gaslighting

Submitted by Anonymous on August 7, 2009 - 12:38pm.

I am in a relationship with a beautiful intelligent woman that continues to actively stare down men who are strangers to her. She engages in this habit openly and without shame any where we are. It is at the very least - embarrassing. I've brought it to her attention many times and she discounts my comments by telling me I am imagining it or she was looking at the wall, or the painting or the ........

I didn't realize this was a form of gaslighting. It is almost solely responsible for a breakdown in our relationship. I stopped being interested in taking her out because of this nasty habit and am about to end the relationship.

What in the world drives someone to blatantly do this knowing it can end an otherwise good relationship?!"

How stupid was that guy?

Just some stories:

Gas lighting is sorta' kinda' like "porn" imo... hard to discribe... but easy to spot if you see it?

"I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that. [Emphasis added.]
—Justice Potter Stewart, concurring opinion in Jacobellis v. Ohio 378 U.S. 184 (1964), regarding possible obscenity in The Lovers."
 
Getting back to "watching the corn grow"... Have a nice day people! :)

Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse in which false information is presented with the intent of making a victim doubt his or her own memory and perception. It may simply be the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, or it could be the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.

Thanks all for the definition behind "gaslighting".  I can say I learned something new today.

I've felt the impact of that. And what happened in my situation was that Joe Pilchesky intentionally advanced his gaslighting techniques during times when I was most emotionally distracted.

And yes, Paul, I do take responsibility for my crimes, however you might define them.
