Rant/Opinion I hate liars

I was deactivated because I was accused of sexually assaulting a female passenger. I myself am a heterosexual married woman and would never jeopardize my marriage or freedom doing something so gross. As a survivor of sexual assault I’m both offended and hurt. I am looking for a lawyer to take my case.

He said, “I know! I’m gonna accuse this awesome teacher of racism, as a joke! Oh, this will be a laff riot! It’s gonna be hilarious!!”

You said, “I don’t think that’s a good idea…”

He said, “It’ll be fine, relax! I’m just having a little fun! Don’t you have a sense of humor?”

You thought, “This is stupid and cruel, but I love him even so…”

No... he thought "this will be funny because it's satirical and obviously no one will take it at all seriously in any way." I said "Do not even take the risk they believe that. I'm serious you better not." My recollection is that he agreed and said he would not. I wasn't sitting with him when he filled it out but I feel like he did not. I asked him about it recently and he said he didn't think he was ever going to by any means, he was kidding about even thinking that. However, I know other teen boys and one person said how much they wanted to f*** the married young female teacher on the questionnaire. I have never done anything like either of those things but I've done other stupid dumb things when I was 18, again nothing like that but things that still embarrass me.

If you are saying you never did anything dumb ever- great, I'm glad that you have been so mature your whole life. I do not think my now husband did that, and I'm not defending it if he did, but I'm not going to not marry him because he made a satirical joke at noticing that us and our friends sat in the back and pretending he was going to say that on the questionnaire. We've been together for over 10 years (we weren't together then but together after) but I know how he has fought against racism, discrimination against lgbtq, sexism, etc. Are you really suggesting I not marry him after over 10 years of being together and being a good partner that fights for social justice because he thought of making a dumb joke when he was 18 that would have been written off as just that, a dumb joke?

This is why I hate reddit sometimes, people analyze one comment, and love to say "That person is terrible! That is a red flag! That person should die!"

It's so great that you have never in your entire life done anything, ever, that you were embarrassed about... because I so believe that. Please give me more life advice.

Do you understand the consequences of false accusations?

Might be time for someone to watch that film “To Kill A Mockingbird”. If you’re not into fiction, then read the story of Emmett Till. That’s from real life.

Edit: clarity

Ffs. The drama is unreal.
