Feeling very hurt!

I split with my stbx this year, after a very long marriage. Reasons being, unhappy and unreasonable behaviour. It was a hard decision to make and took a few years to finally say the words.
Recently, someone asked how my affair was going. I have now found out that everyone is talking about my non-existent affair. Someone has spoken to my stbx and told him the untrue details.
I know I shouldn’t let this get to me but I can’t believe how this has happened. I have been nothing but a doting wife and mother.
Why do I feel ashamed, when an affair couldn’t be further from the truth?

Someone has spoken to my stbx and told him the untrue details.

What does that mean? Do you know who’s saying this to him? Who’s the affair meant to be with?

I sympathise on hearing lies about you. My ex faked texts from me which I only found out about years later. He also told people I was having a breakdown and to other people he said he didn’t know why I’d left him.

I lost a few friends but since they believed him I didn’t need them, as much as it hurt at the time. He’s lost nearly all our old friends since as he was so awful and told so very many lies.

I wouldn't be surprised if your Ex has made the affair up all on his own tbh

I feel like you should have an actual affair.

Ignore them - just tell your closest friends and word will get around.
