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."
