Have you ever been the subject of a malicious rumor? Did it bother you?

One of my "friends" is telling anyone who'll listen that I'm having an affair with a married man. She's denied it, but I know she's told people that (false) story. Really pissing me off!

Yes. And yes it did. A former friend at my former job (I retired) told a major lie about me to my former co-workers. It stunned and upset me. But then it occurred to me that no one who knew me would ever believe it because the lie is so obviously outrageous. It still bothers me because I have no idea why she would do this.

As you noted I would not consider that a "friend" !!
Yes and yes. My mother in law is a gold mine of false rumors and half truths. She’s a destroyer of relationships. I will eat cake the day she leaves my life completely. There will be balloons.

@TwiddlerofThumbs I'm sorry. That must be a very difficult situation.
It was for many years. Finding out what a whore I was and hearing about my drug dependencies. How she raises my kids. The kids laugh about it now. I don’t care to laugh. I’d like to burn her house down. But the jail time isn’t worth the moment of joy. @LeeInTheNorthWoods

I think the societies in the east do rumors more. i worked in a few european countries and witnessed that many ppl doesnt care about what othes do. In my country (turkey) everybody seem to be so much concerned about what others do and this cause lots of rumors unfortunately. Ive not been involved in a bad rumour as far as i know :)
Yes. I've been the subject of a malicious rumor. It's too bad people question truth, but will easily believe something negative.

Yes, by my ex. She did her best to turn our children against me. It worked for a few years. Now they are old enough to see through her lies.

Why is she doing it, do you know?
LeeInTheNorthWoods · 70-79, F
@SW-User Not to seem egotistical, but I suspect she's jealous that I have a lot of male friends.

@LeeInTheNorthWoods sounds very likely
