> What do you mean by "gaslighted" and what happened on the phone?
>He changed his phone style. He had been very abrupt, always hanging up after he said what he needed to say with barely an audible 'thanks'. And then one phone call [to change our appt. time] after I said ok to the time change there was a long pause. He wasn't hanging up. Then he said 'thank you.' I said 'your welcome.' Another long pause. He said 'bye.' Then I said 'bye.' It made the hairs on the back of my neck stick up for some reason. Maybe his tone of voice? I asked him a few days later if I had been hanging up on him [ I really didn't think so, he'd always hung up on me]. He didn't answer my question at all, just said 'well i couldn't tell you. so what do you make of your asking me this' or something like that. It made me feel sort of nuts. He's done this every phone call since, too.
