Have been separated for a while and it’s become apparent that OH is making some fairly wild accusations about me. Obviously, I think they’re rubbish, and it’s done a world of good for my sanity to hear that completely independent parties tell me that they’ve been on the receiving end of this nonsense and they know it’s rubbish too. I’m worried that my OH is spreading this stuff far and wide and I know not everyone is willing to apply their critical faculties to what they’re hearing.
Admittedly, most of these people are likely to fall into the bucket of acquaintances rather than firm friends but even so this feels like slander and last thing I want to do is be turning up in the future at family events, school events et cetera with folks giving me the cold shoulder because of a pack of lies that have been told.
What have other people done in the situation?
