It really isn't that simple mate. I lived through something similar where my ex-wife was mentally abusive and gaslighting me. She was constantly trying to get me to the GP in order to get me drugged up and in therapy and i was half-convinced i was the one with a mental illness. It turned out she was the one with severe mental problems. I only got out when she tried to commit suicide and ended up in intensive care for several weeks after unsuccessfully trying to stab me in the kitchen.
In those few weeks, i moved out and back to my parents, I was able to decompress and realize what a pressure cooker I was in and by the time she got out of hospital i knew what a horribly abusive marriage i was in. I finally got that divorce. I'm now remarried to an extraordinary girl and have a baby on the way. I couldn't be happier.
That's good that you got out of an abusive relationship. I think female to male abuse happens more than people realise. I remember when me and my friends first started dating women I was surprised to hear that out of the 3 of us, I was the only one who hadn't been slapped in the face.
But I think in this story, if you stabbed her, I'm sure you'd admit it? In your mind you'd have been pushed to your limits and that would have been your defense. But this guy did it and tried to hide what he'd done. He was only caught because he had a spek of her blood on his sock after saying he wasn't there at the time of her murder.
He's made the biggest lie and now we're expected to believe his story of his wife and her insults. I'm sorry to say if someone is lying about murder I have little time for them. If a person murders someone then admit it and submit your defense to court.
Someone close to me has experience domestic violence that changed her life forever. Her ex partner is currently locked up in a mental institution and if he's ever released he'll stand trial for what he's done.
