DP said I’m gaslighting

DP recently heard the term gaslighting and googled it and in the four days over weekend has accused me of gaslighting several times in the context of every time I disagree with him and put my point of view across.
I don’t think there’s any way back from this.

has really made me question everything and want to run for the hills

This is your healthy, boundaried self, shouting loudly at you. Listen to her. She's the healthy you, the self respecting you.

Ignoring her is what kept you in an abusive relationship before. Don't ignore her again/

Oh my lord, he reads one new word on the internet and suddenly that's all you are.

Big clap for him.

What's the next new word you are likely to be already except he just hasn't read a Twitter rant on it yet?

I would text him

"I am sending this via text so that we are both crystal clear on the message and no one can accuse anyone else of gaslighting. Our relationship is over."

He's on a slippery slope to make females the answers to all his problems.

Tell him he’s right. Tell him you’re gaslighting him and it’s best you split up.

And leave him.

This ^

And also what Watchkeys said but I don't know how to double-quote.
