We considered our spouse to be a bully doing that psycho crap. Guess what...haven’t seen her in 2 years....3 strikes and she was out.
The silent treatment, patronizing, isolation....her way of asserting her self-supposed superiority.
This was a major trigger that we can do without. We are much calmer today.
Sounds like a marriage counselor can be of use here and he to be seeing a T.
I hope it gets better for you.
