Is this an example of "Gaslighting"

[mkgal1]

I think that your responses you've been giving him (asking him about the gaps in information---repeating your main questions, when they go unanswered)........along with not getting sucked into arguments about defending your own communication skills is at least casting light on the situation.

I wonder if you just come right out and asked him......"is there something bothering you....stressing you out or something...because you are not acting like your typical self." Do you think that's worth a try?

This all sounds like passive/aggression....and people often resort to this when they don't know how to properly deal with conflict. The reviews for this one book may be something you can relate to:

That would irritate me. a lot. I'd just say, "Would you please just answer my question, instead of expecting me to read your mind?"
