My wife has engaged in a smear campaign about six times in our marriage. Every Single time the fantasy has fallen apart she has lost mostly every friend every colleague and most of her family because of this.
She has never wanted to tell the truth and has isolated the people that are closest to us like her mother. I am currently in probably the biggest near campaign of our marriage and it seems it is going to crumble
See that's what I don't get. You smear campaign more than once with the same people? Don't they get that others can put two and two together, and that their efforts are causing their biggest fear abandonment to become reality.
