unaware of dwindling funds
My husband was blissfully clueless when the money dried up. His universe revolved on other people’s acceptance, yet the earth beneath his feet changed inaudibly. He was too preoccupied with his own feeling of invincibility to notice the minor adjustments in our accounts. His ignorance served as my friend in this covert attack; he was unaware that the basic basis of his existence was gradually being undermined.

distracted by admiration
My spouse took comfort in his mother’s praise and reveled in her affection without guilt. Every glowing comment appeared to confirm his erroneous conviction that he was infallible. In the meantime, the financial foundation he was standing on was destroyed by my meticulous manipulation. He walked about, engrossed in the façade we had created together, a flimsy thing I was about to blow up. His attention was diverted—it shielded me while I destroyed everything he was proud of.
