In another forum I had been PMing with a woman for a while, talking about a variety of life issues. I was interested in what this person had to say and it seemed like they didn't mind the discussion.
At some point they stopped responding and I thought nothing of it. Just today her boyfriend, another member of that forum, came back with a huge post mentioning someone who was a "pathetic creepy liar" and "manipulative" and "trying to break up his relationship" and so on. With a long list of other things that only someone who knew me better would know.
I knew full well that this woman was the SO of the boyfriend who came back and had no romantic interest with her, but did make a joke that if she ever got single some day, give a call, etc., but I was sarcastic. I have a well-established sense of humor like that but now it appears she took it as some kind of serious offense. Which I really do not understand.
Literally it seems like she just sent all my PMs over to this guy. These were all things that were supposed to be discussed in confidence, and in fact this same woman both seemed trustworthy and said I could trust her!
It's all out war now. I'm thinking about leaving that forum. I've never had anyone come out with such a scathing and hateful discussion about me before, and he thinks he gets away with it because he won't name me and it's indirect.
I'm 100% certain it's about me though and he has not denied it. He is on the good side of most of the mods there, though, so maybe nothing will happen to him.
Not sure what to do here. All I know is what he said was so astonishingly full of ridicule toward me, this REALLY hurts. :sad:
Has anyone else been in this situation?
