It's not a personality disorder, it's called gaslighting.
Gaslighting: to manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity.
These people will say things that aren't true to make you question your own thoughts, feelings, and emotions about something. You inevitably end up confused about your opinion on things.
A gaslighter will lie to you about past events, tell you how to feel about certain things or claim you are feeling something when you're not, and guilt you into complying with their wishes and opinions, eventually gaining control of your life. You begin to question everything, including your own sense of reality.
Gaslighters are extremely dangerous, and should be avoided. They are hard to get away from, too. Because they will guilt you into staying and reframe the past to make it look like they did nothing wrong.
I really hope you get out...
Oh yeah. Gaslighting, lies by omission, double standards (rules for thee & not for me), and just blatant ass lies.
The girl I was with was obsessed with justifying flirting which obviously just led to 'situations' and not just drama between her and I (but yeah a lot of that too). She fucked over her female friends flirting with their men (drama), and would get the random guy of the week hounding her so badly that she'd literally ask me to get him to back off (the stalker types). I've been in situations where some guy I don't even know wants to fight just randomly in public places only to find out... it was about her.
Her favorite lines..."He's just a friend, He's just a really nice guy, you're just jealous, you're just paranoid, you're just controlling," and just on and on. It was all lies. It did lead to cheating multiple times.
Yes, there is a name for it, but there doesn't seem to be a medical reason for it - it's called being a pathological or compulsive liar. These are people who cannot accept the truth of a given situation, and/or their own personal actions in regard to the that situation. If you're involved with people who do this, especially ones who are close to you, my advice is to separate from them as much as possible.

Yes. An ex wife. She would try to manipulate me to always have it my fault. Either that or she would just hit me.
That sounds like plain old narcissistic personalities. Lying or hiding facts for their favor.
Yes, anyone that has been with a narcissistic partner has experienced this
That’s psychopathic. Does he not think you’d say anything?
No. And the way I'd deal with that is to show her the door. I do not tolerate gaslighting.
Time to say, "Babye!"
Lol they call that Narcissist
Psychopaths do that
Yes,
