Is this gaslighting?

My partner and his mum used to always make jokes at my expense and it would embarrass me infront of others. I could say something and they would both be looking at eachother laughing and deny it when I ask. Anyway, she came over today. My partner came home from work and said there was a horrible smell and was walking around trying to find it. He then went over to the food I had spent about 2 hours making and his mum found it hilarious and stated laughing. She then said to him 'What are you eating tonight then' and they both smirked at eachother and laughed. After she left, I told him I was upset by it all and he stated arguing with me saying he did nothing and that its all in my head. He also said that I'm just saying things to make him and his mum have a fall out. He then demanded examples of when he has done this apart from today, I listed one and he got defensive and said that was years ago. Anyway.. does this sound like gaslighting?

His mum could never compliment me on anything. She always makes me question myself. I offered her a coffee today and she said no and then 5minutes later went over and made one herself. I get paranoid. It's messing with my head.

That's a perfect example of gas lighting. They sound like bullies. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

Wowza that sounds kinda cruel. Did he eat the dinner? Did you say anything about what he thought the smell was? I'd rather be alone than with someone who makes me feel so shitty 😒

No cause the way I would never make dinner for him again. Aside from the gaslighting it’s just incredibly rude. Also gives me the feeling there’s been more said when you aren’t around if this is how they behave right infront of you. I’m sorry, they sound like terrible company.

@Tiffany He didn't eat it. He usually doesn't always eat with me and the kids because he is on a diet apparently.. But then will snack on stuff later. It really annoys me. The only time he will eat with us is if it fits his diet plan.

They both sound like absolute dicks. You're not paranoid. That's textbook gaslighting. My anger issues could absolutely not stand for that shit

He has an unhealthy relationship with his mom it sounds like. He’ll put her amusement before your happiness. That’s just rude. Let his momma take care of him and since she got all this time on her hands. I’m humble af but ngl ima go off on somebody if they ever disrespect me in my own home

He sounds like an asshole. I get that it’s hard to leave relationships but babe you deserve so much more. And I think you should give yourself the opportunity to find someone who loves and appreciates you because by the sounds of it he doesn’t. Shame on his mum too

That’s so weird, they sound like bitchy mean girls 🤢

That's so wired if my partner and his mum did that I would just leave with my child and go back home , unfortunately I know it's not that simple for some ,im sorry that they treat you like that proper shitty behaviour,fuck em honestly you deserve better x or if they are in your home kick em the fk out and tell them you dirty pigs ,people like that dont allow around your kids as they will copy that behaviour x

Sounds like a mummy’s boy who needs to grow up! I personally would have left ages ago 🤣

I mean he literally said that it's all in your head - gaslighting at its 'finest'. I'm sorry I hope you're ok x
