Having a little trouble with knowing how to handle situations where I still get a little blindsided by spew. Could use advice about the appropriate response to the following. Most are re-writing of history, exaggerations, or things from the past. Do I just validate? I know I don't want to argue, but wonder if some of them require something else to make her think or to say a version of "that's not true".
  • "We are too different"
  • "We don't enjoy the same things"
  • "You never loved me"
  • "You never wanted the baby when I got pregnant"
  • "What about all the holidays you ruined and I had to smile through my tears for the kids"
  • "you were trying to meet women online years ago"
  • "you poisoned our sex life"
  • "I was just faking it to try and save my marriage"
  • "I cried myself to sleep most nights" (but never told me)
  • "It was 11 years of hell"
  • "anything bad I did was just a reaction to you"
  • "you are not taking responsibility that YOU destroyed our marriage, not the affair"
  • "You still haven't changed"
  • "Just ask my friend. She can tell you how many years I have wanted a divorce"
  • "I fell in love the the person you sold yourself to me as. You are not that person. You don't understand women"
  • "I am the real victim here. Just look at how you reacted to my supposed affair by snooping, telling people, etc."
