Whether you're in a new relationship, or you've been in one for years, gaslighting doesn't go away. It's a subtle form of manipulation that will leave you questioning your version of reality. When you are aware of examples of gaslighting in a relationship, you can shut it down or get the fuck out.

Have you ever gotten into a situationship by accident? The man you went out with in the first place said he was looking for a relationship, but then he back-pedaled? He seems to want all the benefits of having a girlfriend but isn't willing to commit. These actions define emotional unavailability.
