Ex-Girlfriend is telling everybody I beat her?

[motega]

Alright so a little background first...
Dated this girl senior year of high school (My First Girlfriend). Things started off nice then took a turn for the worse b/c she was still in love with her first bf. We ended up breaking up and she called me two days after the breakup at 3 A.M. While in bed with someone I considered to be friends at the time just to tell me he was a good kisser, etc. We were in classes together and it was not a good situation which only got worse b/c she confessed to me that after our break up she went a little crazy and slept with a 3 guys in 48 hours around prom and felt extremely guilty about it. I ended up calling her a slut out of anger and b/c I said that she told her Dad that I was threatening her. (Apparently calling someone slut is threatening) So her Dad calls me not even 15 minutes later saying he was going to show up in my driveway and beat me with a baseball bat.. So we stopped talking altogether.

We both ended up going to the same college and somehow ended up in the same damn co-ed dorms (1 hall away) and we ran into each other on multiple occasions. I tried to reconcile with her due to the fact she was my first girlfriend and I at the time still loved her. We hung out a few times together with her friends and mine. We fooled around a bit over the next couple weeks.

Then one weekend she went home and we had a minor argument with a couple of my friends around. She came back then next weekend and she was talking about how she's so glad we're still friends and that I'm important to her and I said that I still didn't appreciate calling me that one night at 3 a.m. She stormed out to take a test and then I get messages saying I messed up her test and yelling at me the whole time. Then the next day a Police Officer shows up at my door with a order for protection against me claiming I assaulted her. I never touched this girl and never could hurt a woman.. I took her to court and they dropped the charges b/c of my witnesses to the event. We ended up with a mutual restraining order against each other for 1 year. I left college immediantly to get away from her and went to a different school. It was very hard on me and my family. I haven't talked to her since court that day.

I was talking and catching up with friends from high school the other day and she apparently has been telling everybody that I beat her to a pulp. Saying that I hit her in the face so many times she was hospitalized and is portraying me as something I hate. (I was studying to be in law enforcement before this happened.) I have a high school reunion coming up soon that I wanted to see my old friends at but I don't know how to deal with the fact that half of them heard these awful stories.
I guess what I'm asking is because of the history between us do I even bring it up and confront her about these allegations or do I just explain to my friends that it didn't happen and hope that they can see the truth?

I am now getting married to a wonderful girl I've been with for 6 years and b/c this was my girlfriend I still struggle with how badly she hurt me and sincerely hope I can come to forgive her for this and get over the past.

This chick is a crazy *****. Its hard not to let her influence your life but if she continues talking trash about you , you might be forced to get a lwayer to shut her up. Just explain to your friends the situation if any of them even bring it up. She is crazy and people probably know that. If she shows up at the high school reunion call the cops. Get another restraining order against her before the reunion.

thats one bad *****, shes playing games - having nothing to do with her,,,,,

if this stuff happened six years ago you should track down her other boyfriends no doubt they will say the same things happened them

She sounds nuts man... She filed a order for protection on the same day her friend did? Absolutely crazy I would file for another restraining order and get the hell away from her.

step 1. have a burning desire to accomplish one major definite purpose
step 2. have faith you will succeed.
step 3. organize a definite plan and take action.
step 4. never give up until you achieve your one major definite purpose.
the secret ingredient: consistency in all steps.
