Ex boyfriend reported me to the police ..aibu to not forgive him?

[totaleclipseofmyheart]

Me and my ex remained friends after breaking up January 2020.
We still spoke daily on the phone and text etc
I don't want to go into too much detail but it came to light he reported me to the police in April.
He accused me of stealing from a dying close relative (it wasn't true and after investigation no further action was taking )
I found out after he drunkenly let something slip (that he could only of known about )
He text me last week..saying he was upset that I accused him of this and blaming him for "made up scenarios"
He said I was confused and was reflecting the blame to him.
I'm telling you it was 100% him.
I told him I didn't want to speak about it anymore and I'm hurt he thought so little of me.
He went to some lengths to Hurt me didn't he?
I've name changed as I have mentioned him before and worry if he sees these posts.
Why can't he just admit what he did?
Even if he thought I was doing this why go to them lengths ? Yet speak to me daily

Closure is a luxury.
He did it because either he thought you were financially abusing a terminally ill person in which case although hurtful for you, he did the right thing.

Or.

He is an utter wanker who wanted to hurt and distress you .

Option 1 - it was horrible for you but he felt a moral obligation, try to focus on that.

Option 2 - he's a total twat who doesn't deserve a moment in your thoughts

I remember your other post. You are quite literally wasting a shocking amount of headspace on this. He has been an ex for a year. And yet you still want to understand his motives. Draw a line under this today. Write on a piece of paper "I didn't do it. The police dropped it. Nothing came of it. Some people behave strangely. He's a dick. Glad I never have to see or speak to him again. Moving on! Exciting future plans."
Then tear it up.

Yes closure isca nonsense idea that only became a thing because of friends.

The only closure you need is to stop this silly charade and block and stop contact with him and then get on with your life.
Honestly, I’ve never been friends with an any of my exes, I’ve been glad to see the back of them all and leave them in my past where they belong, and that is what you should do.
Unless you love the drama?
