[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never write this to anyone but I've thought this before. I've also said it outloud to my husband.   I don't have the bandwidth for new relationships.  I can barely keep up with the ones I have.

I say respond with "I get it. Have a safe holiday."  Don't reach out anymore.  The kids can likely remain friends but I wouldn't plan playdates.  She likely enjoys the fact that the kids play but doesn't need new people in her own social circle.[/quote]

If this were a man in a relationship we’d call him a gaslighting a**hole. [/quote]

I love that word.  I had to look up where it came from, an old movie.  Every time I can't find something I ask DW out loud "are you gaslighting me again?"  "Stop gaslighting me!"  "I feel so gaslit."  Then of course the item is just where I left it.  Good thing I'm joking and she knows it.  
She's looking for her purse....I say "I have no idea.  Maybe I hid it and am gaslighting you?"  "look under the couch, if its too dark, try some gas light".
