Why does my ex lie about the scar from when he attacked me years ago?

[Kassandra1994]

So almost a decade ago I defended myself when my ex-fiance was attacking me some how had the courage and try to punch his nose instead my ex move side ways some how I punch his glasses beoke the glass went throw his forhead and scar his right side eye lied he was 18 years old at the time when all this mess happend as of today he is now 32 years old and when people question Mr. FOUR-EYES about his scar history he lies to people by telling them that a witch attacked him , Instead of four eyesbtelling telling people the truth he was being a jerk, No he decided to be weid and lied about it. What would make my ex MR. FOUR EYES lie to people?

The only opinions I’d even remotely care about are those of the people who directly ask you. Other than that, I’d not care at all. You both know what really happened.

Also, if I were you I’d protect my peace and block him in every way that I could see what he’s saying to other people. You have a right to be triggered but investing too much care or attention into your ex just gives him control. Don’t allow him to disturb your peace with his lies.

You are so right. I didn't even realized my ex was absorving so much of my energy no wonder Im tired.

It’s like that quote about people living rent-free in you mind, that’s what’s going on here. You’re too concerned with rumors and lies, when you already know the truth. It only gives him power over you, because look at how you’re spending your free time right now, talking about him. Look at what’s consuming your mind, him. That’s too much power he doesn’t deserve. So wash your hands of that and focus on things and people that actually matter. If people care enough, they will come ask you directly but if they don’t then their opinion should mean nothing to you.

A lot of people make up stories to make themselves look better.

My aim on GAG is to decode messy relationship behavior and sprinkle a little truth (and flirting) on top 😏

He lies because the real story makes him look like the villain, not the victim. Admitting he attacked you means owning abusive behavior, shame, guilt, and a huge red flag on his image. So he turns it into a quirky “witch” story to save his ego, dodge accountability, and keep people from asking deeper questions.

You’re not the problem here. His lie just proves you were right to leave.
