Thank you, yes, it was literally crazy. The word for that is... slander! Unfortunately to sue someone in the US for slander, you have to prove they knew it was false, intended to harm you, and it actually caused damages to you. Kind of a high hurdle especially when none of us have money for lawyers, but it's not like that would even help.

I hadn't even done anything to this guy at the time he flipped out on me. I had just spent 3 weeks at his house and he and his wife asked me to move in with them. The worst was that I said negative things about his dream love, who again, had zero interest in him romantically - I said she was taking advantage of us and I didn't think she was a good person, which was true. So, he told her that, plus other aforementioned ludicrous things (I was "plotting to steal her website", which wasn't even possible since it was all in her name, and she knew that, but he didn't). But she was offended and blacklisted me, herself. I ended up calling (emailing, ha) him and telling him to fuck off, which made him more upset. Later I made up with her and we had a 7-8 month relationship which was pretty messy itself, then when we broke up, she started slandering me, dating someone else, and that was when he apparently ended it.

It was about 10 years ago now, but it's still one of the weirdest chapters of my life. I had my own problems at the time and didn't really need those problems. I was traveling around the country at the time trying to hang out with people and go to conventions in our art community. I feel slightly bad as before this, I liked him a fair bit and had no reason not to, but striving to destroy me for a couple years wasn't that great.
