I went to a part last night at my friend's house. Things were winding down, people were leaving, so a few of us were just hanging out. There was a guy there who I only sort of knew, and he said his other friend was gonna stop by.

His other friend turned out to be a guy I had a REALLY rocky relationship with. Like...he was constantly bordering on abusive, but would stop himself just in time so he knew I couldn't really do anything about it, you know? He refused to let me break it off when things first started getting scary, so I started looking around again like I was single and just tried to ignore him as much as I could.

What do you know? I must attract HUGE creeps, because the next guy I was interested in tries to rape me at a party, my boyfriend walks in and kicks the guy's ass. He was FURIOUS with me and hit me a little, but I explained to him what happened and for a while we were okay. I never told anyone else. A few months ago, HE breaks up with ME (finally!) and we hadn't spoken since.

But he shows up at the party, we're all a little tipsy, and we start playing truth or dare in a small little circle on the floor just because. After a little while someone asked me to tell my deepest darkest secret, which was that I was almost raped. I was planning on making something up, and he speaks over me and goes "I know her darkest secret."

I gave him such a death glare, and he continues, "At a party a few months ago, I discovered this secret."

I'm starting to freak out thinking that he's going to tell everyone, and he says "Her secret is that she's a whore who likes to blame others for things that are her fault."

I reached over and hit him in the face. Twice. Then I just stood up and left. I walked home, I didn't care that it was sleeting, I just wanted to get away from him and I didn't want to talk to anyone.

Well yesterday the friend who was friends with him sees me at the store and tells me that after I left, he told everyone how I was cheating on him and he caught me and I tried to blame it on the guy, and I was wicked manipulative our whole relationship, and making up a bunch of bullshit to make me look bad. A few of my friends actually believed him and told him he should press charges because I hit him, and he's considering it.

What the hell am I supposed to do?

I don't know if you can press charges but maybe you should get a restraining order.

If he sues, cross sue him and tell them HE abused you in your relationship....chances are, they'll believe you over him.....the world is just like that

Oh, and you can also press charges on the other guy for attempted rape....

If he actually presses charges, he'll get luaghed out of the police department.

That sounds exactly like my ex-brother-in-law! No one will take that fools side, and I think that you should just get away from those people
