Bit of a long story so I will try and be brief but not miss any important bits. DH and I have been together for almost 10 years, have been married almost a year and have a DC aged 3.
The year I fell pregnant, we discovered a relative of DH's friend, whom we knew a little as she used to come to our local pub etc had been telling all and sundry she'd been having an affair with DH (then DF) for the past year, he was going to leave me, move in with her and so on.
I didn't give her story any credence as she'd told people of a few times they'd supposedly been together, but I knew at certain times we'd been on holiday abroad for example, so her story was impossible anyway.
I spoke to her on the phone, told her I was pregnant and really didn't want to have to deal with idle gossip, and that she needed to get a grip. She was very abusive on the phone so I hung up on her. DH rang her mum (she is five years younger than me and was in her late teens at this point) as he knew her from the local area too, and basically asked her to sort out her daughter as it was embarrassing for all concerned. Her mum apologised profusely and was lovely about the whole incident.
Shortly afterward we moved as we'd been in process of buying our first home.
Knowing a lot of people from the area we'd moved from, gossip filtered through that she was saying similar things, we both chose to ignore it and focus on our new home, baby on the way, wedding planning etc.
Fast forward to today and it is STILL going on. It is absolutely bizarre and the final straw for me is her posting all over FB (we have both blocked her but like I said we both know people from the same area, and some people are now concerned for my safety) that he is only waiting for DC to be old enough to understand, then he is going to leave and move far away with her, that I am the only problem in her way and that she needs to make me 'disappear'. She also faked a pregnancy that dragged on for alomost a year, saying the hospital messed up her dates, then she'd had a miscarriage, even showing a scan photo (with the top section where mother's name should be conveniently cut off).
I feel like our marriage is constantly under attack, DH's name has been dragged through the mud by her and we have avoided or left early several friends parties etc because she has been there too and neither of us feels at all comfortable in her presence.
WIBU to ask for an injunction, do we even have grounds to do this? It has been 5 years since this started, we've tried to ignoring tactic, have made sure our friends know it is a pack of lies, but she is relentless with her stories, I am exhausted by it. I am pretty sure she needs help psychologically, but it is not our place to initiate that, she is making our lives very stressful.
