5. He lied about being in the military
“He said he was going to the woods to shoot himself, I called the police, told them I thought he was having a military PTSD event, they stopped him, took his gun, and informed me he was NEVER IN THE MILITARY. FOUR YEARS into my marriage. WTF. I took photos of all the holes in my walls and got myself a restraining order and a divorce. Courts don’t much appreciate Stolen Valour being your excuse for violence and emotional abuse/manipulation. He was a skilled con-man, gaslighter, and an abuser. As far as I know, he did the same to his second wife, who also divorced his pathetic ass.” dragonsvomitfire
6. He had schizophrenic tendencies
“My husband is clinically bipolar and can have schizophrenic tendencies. He wasn’t like this until 8 years into the relationship.
Suddenly all his trust in me was gone, he would have hallucinations of things that “proved” I was cheating. Any nice dress or makeup that I wore became a “sign.” His jealousy skyrocketed, he would give me the silent treatment for days and then explode in anger if he saw me chatting with a co-worker, or smiling at the store clerk. He started logging into my Google account on the home computer and would track my phone. My work was next to a restaurant. Sometimes my Google would get a little off and say I was at that restaurant and he would see that and think I must have lied to him about going to work.
I was miserable. We agreed that he needed to go to see a doctor, and he did, and with his diagnosis, I knew that he really was having psychotic episodes. Things are getting better now.” jackster_
