psychological whorefare

Any of the mind games that a person plays to convince themself and others that they are an innocent victim, rather than the insidious slutbag they really are. Psychological whorefare allows someone to continue there whoremongering behavior without guilt and at the expense of their partner’s sanity and emotional wellbeing. Examples include, but aren’t limited to:

1) Starting a fight, so they can break up with their partner for a weekend, for a one night stand, without it “technically” being cheating. 2) Claiming that a close “friend” is just a friend and not a backup relationship, despite their obvious mutual attraction to each other, and HOW FUCKING DARE YOU QUESTION IT, YOU JEALOUS ASSHOLE!! 3) Testing their partner’s love in ways which are meant to fail, thus justifying seeking attention from others. A common test is telling the partner to stay away, then later claiming that if the partner really cared, they would have come over anyway.
