I was reading the definition of it and found it a little complicated.
Can someone give examples of cognitive dissonance?
As I understand cognitive dissonance would refer to two (or more) conflicting sets of thoughts/emotions at the same time. An MLCer may simultaneously tell the LBS they want nothing to do with them/ don't love them/ have an other m/w yet continue to expect marital harmony or relations. It is how they "cake eat" and do not at all see their hypocrisy.

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow. What you stop. And what you reinforce. ~~~~~~~ A lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect.
