After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 377 - 284: He Actually Doesn’t Know Love

In the first stage, the charming gaslighting manipulation and the gentle romantic phase overlap, making it difficult for the manipulated person to find the problem, or even realize they are being manipulated.

She would only think that these are the conflicts that all couples face when they are together.

After all, when people interact, how can there not be some conflicts, right?!

For instance, when her increasingly ill-tempered husband gave Liang Yiyi gifts and created surprises, she would tell herself, "He really loves me. The unpleasantness before was just because of some small conflicts, and once resolved, everything will be fine."

Because of this, Liang Yiyi’s self-awareness was being slowly destroyed.

Some manipulated people waste months, years, or even a lifetime unreasonably hoping that all problems between them can be resolved.

But unfortunately, with someone who continuously creates problems for you, the issues between them are never-ending.

"Sometimes I can find where I went wrong, sometimes I can’t. I often feel strange; why did the same actions not seem wrong before and were fine with others, but wrong with my husband? Why are they problematic now?" Liang Yiyi said in distress. "When I question him, he would say, ’It’s because others have indulged you that you’re so immature,’ ’Look at how spoiled your parents have made you!’

"He says I don’t have a brain, and I feel quite embarrassed and angry. I don’t want him to say that to me."

"Have you told him you don’t like him saying that to you?" Ning Youguang asked.

"Yes, I told him, but he said, ’If you have a brain, would you be like this?’, ’You’re married now, you should grow up. If you continue like this, I won’t be able to communicate with you!’ Sometimes he would even suggest separating for a few days so I can reflect properly." Liang Yiyi said, struggling to breathe, "I’m particularly afraid of being apart from him. How can married couples separate so easily? I absolutely can’t accept it. I think if there’s a problem between a couple, arguing is okay, but separation isn’t. However, he doesn’t accept this, so I can only keep reflecting on my own issues."

"Is this his usual attitude when problems arise?" Ning Youguang asked.

"Mostly it’s like this," Liang Yiyi said. "I used to ask him, ’Why is it always my fault when issues arise? Aren’t you at fault as well?’ He firmly said ’No.’ I asked, ’Why are you so certain you are not wrong?’ He said, ’Because of what I know, it’s the majority...’

"In the end, he would bring up some past mistakes I made. Sometimes at night, when we are lying in bed, I originally want to communicate well with him to solve problems, but in the end, it always turns into my problem, into an endless trial against me!"

"I’m so tired! I often cry in the middle of the night."

"How does he react when he sees you cry?" Ning Youguang asked.

"He says, ’I must let you see your own issues, otherwise you will never improve!’, ’You should reflect on yourself!’ Then he would lift the quilt and slam the door loudly to go to the guest room."

It’s suffocating.

"Doesn’t this kind of situation drive people crazy?" Ning Youguang said.

"I also feel like I’m going crazy!" Liang Yiyi glanced at her daughter, "I often can’t figure it out, sometimes I even feel like jumping off a building to end it all, but I can’t, because I have Lele, I can’t let her be without a mother.

After a while, she added, "But our interactions are not always like this. It’s only like this when problems occur. When there are no problems, or as long as I continuously recognize and agree with his views, we get along very well. He would buy me gifts, take good care of my health, and take me out for relaxation. Many times he is also very considerate."

Ning Youguang asked Liang Yiyi, "Have you ever thought about the motivation behind his caring and tenderness?"

"Of course, it’s because he loves me," Liang Yiyi said.

"Maybe it’s that," Ning Youguang said, "but maybe it’s for other reasons?"

Liang Yiyi lowered her head, "What reasons? Isn’t it because we get along so well?"

Ning Youguang looked intently into Liang Yiyi’s eyes, "To keep you from criticizing his mistakes, and to make you doubt your own thoughts."
