My wife called me a drunk, so I accused her of gaslighting me and made another margarita.

My wife is an old movie nerd and made me watch Gaslight like 10 years ago. It was a little weird when it suddenly became the Internet's favorite word

It's an important tool for deflecting criticism. This is important because now you can be criticized by thousands or even millions of people at once (unless you aren't an idiot and stay off social media).

Wait, what?

Gaslighting is used to deflect criticism or the other way around? I'm confused.

Why are you accusing me of such horrible things? I'd never do anything of the sort to a person I cared for. This whole persecution complex you have is all in your own head.

Until you come to terms with that, you're never going to get well.
