Hate then love.. emotional manipulation
I just don’t get it..
Over the years, the relationship has been marked by repeated boundary crossing, emotionally charged communication, passive aggressive comments, guilt-driven behaviour, social media games, pressure around family access and involvement, minimising or avoiding accountability when issues are raised, and a pattern of making situations about her own hurt rather than acknowledging the impact her actions have had on others, which has gradually led to distrust, emotional exhaustion, and distance within the relationship.
For a few months, I have had 0 contact with my partner’s parents. My husband has contacted them maybe 2/3 times since the beginning of the year.
My husband received a message 2 days ago along the lines of: I guess your wife got what she wanted. I hope its worth it Have a nice life.
There was more to the message but when he went to read it, she had since deleted it. Then today, in a group message, his mum sent a massive message about reconnecting, needing to be involved in her granddaughters life, how much she loves us but not once did she apologise or take any accountability for her horrible behaviour or actions. It was 100% written by ChatGPT!
What game is she playing? I don’t think she knows my husband saw the message sent 2 days ago to then backtrack and act like she just wants to move forward so positively in our lives and have a meeting to talk it all out.
I’m just at a complete loss..
