Same boat. Got accused of raping and beating my ex, I was in 9th grade. The rumor always lingered and I was treated like a terrible human. I will admit I was a dick, controlling, etc. But I was not a rapist or a woman beater.
In an event that I've told very few, she spoke with me a few years later on the phone (we had a kid prior to this), and she was having troubles with her current dude. She told me she was going to go to an abused women's shelter.... Here we go again...
Now we're older, things are mellow. Wild ride.
In other, related news, our son was accused of sexual assault and became a shut in during his last year or two of high school. He never really left the house, didn't really want to talk to anyone except me... People are evil... Or don't understand the magnitude of false accusations... Or both.
Did you guys have a kid together before the 9th grade or did you get back with her later after the false accusations??
Kid during 9th grade, she was older. We split by her leaving me without telling me and telling everyone that I assaulted her when our kid was 3 mo old.
The conversation of her and her partner having issues was like 5 years later. Through it all, we've remained, for the most part, civil. Couple disputes here and there but nothing that would make good TV.
