[this is a great opportunity to prove H wrong by showing everyone that you will not be pulled in or provoked by his actions. i remember being worried too about what my W was telling everyone.... but since then i have realized that people are smarter than i was giving them credit for, and that the truth becomes apparent. let your actions speak volumes of how you are handling this with dignity and grace, NLW. i know it is hard, but you will feel so strong as you triumph over this.
Thanks for this great advice and for the benefit of your hard-won experience.
I hope that people are smarter than i am giving them credit for.
My thoughts fly to the easy charm and 'niceness' that stbx projects. It's how he gets away with what he does. He's everybody's friend, a great guy....he [censored] people in.
Basically, the truth will out, though, as you say. If not, then maybe I have been wrong about him. I just need to stick to my own path and uphold my own values. Being provoked by him does nothing for me; I will not play his/their game.
