I’ve always wondered why my husband defends everyone but me, but when I discovered the reason, I was shocked.
1. My Husband Defends Everyone But Me Because He Wants To Maintain Power Over Me
My husband purposefully kept me less than, and his manipulation worked. It kept me spinning my wheels always trying to prove to him that I am lovable.
Because he defended everyone else, they viewed him as an amazing person. And felt sorry for him that his wife (me) wasn’t worthy of him.
2. He Wanted To Keep Me From Finding Out The Truth About Him
My husband had been hiding a double life for years. Through lying and gaslighting, he kept me from discovering his pornography use and infidelity.
All the lying and deception was emotionally and psychologically abusive. Take this free emotional abuse quiz to find out if your husband is emotionally abusive.
3. When Things Finally Came Out, He Wanted Everyone On His Side
When he filed for divorce so he could marry the woman he had an affair with, I was devastated. But because he’d thrown me under the bus all those years to all our friends and family, everyone took his side.
