Why is he saying everyone that I left him when in reality he left me and I moved on successfully?

Just tell the people, like ask them rhetorically- you want me to cry?

If I lose a family member, you want me to break and crumble?

I am living successfully and progressively, I don’t need to prove to anyone I cared about him by losing myself. It doesn’t matter who left who the relationship was not working and had to come to a close.

In an emergency, it doesn’t matter who pulls the brakes on a train (like in polar express), all that matters was the fact that the brakes were PULLED.

Maybe go along with his stupidity-

“yeah, I did leave him. Emotionally. You want to date someone like him? You go right ahead. He hurt me, and I don’t regret my choices.”

Do not get emotionally sucked into this game he is playing.

We don’t know what he’s trying at-

saying you left him so that others will look at you as bad

or so when you correct them and say he left you, it will make him look powerful to others or so, or as if he left you because you had the problem.

You can either explain why you chose what you chose and the most important takeaway from this ordeal- as you’re HAPPY now and moving FORWARD.

or you can say

“I don’t owe you an explanation for my personal relationships, and the decisions I had to make in those.”

Best to you.

Best is to ignore instead of caring. Caring only gives him power to hurt me again

To tell other people that he left you rather than you left him is to make himself look as if he is the one in power and that you are not satisfactory. The bottom line is who cares. let the others believe what they will. The best thing you can do is start dating and this demonstrates that he is a fool. Couple of pictures from events with friends demonstrate that you have a life etc...

He regrets dumping you.
