It's often hard to accept the answers you know are there especially when your spouse is gaslighting you.
I know that I, personally, made excuses for YEARS for my stbx's behavior. It was often easier for me to do that than accept the fact that our marriage was disfunctional. It's a hard cycle to remove yourself from. Hell, we've been separated for just over 2 months, and I still catch myself allowing him to manipulate me. Being able to admit that you already know the answers is a big step in the right direction.
