Being wrongly accused is one emotion that can cause huge damage to one's reputation and self-esteem, I've read and heard stories of some individuals going to the extent of falling into depression and eventually losing their lives due to false accusations. This matter should be taken as a matter of serious concern, so we should be sure of the facts before accusing someone wrongly, as we do not wish for innocent blood on our hands.
As for myself, I can be very emotional when it comes to things like this because as much as I can't do the same to others, it feels very bad and annoying to have someone treat me that way, the more reason why I like to mind my businesses do as not to get involved in messy situations like this. But you know, being human, it's almost impossible to avoid people especially when they live under the same roof as yours.
This event took place while I was still an undergraduate, I lived with room mate who had a boyfriend but soon started dating another guy, to make matter worst, she was fating her boyfriend's friend, and they were both cool for her to double date or rather deceive the other guy while I wasn't comfortable with that kind of lifestyle, after minding my business for a long while, I couldn't hold it anymore because she actually had both of them visit one day and they kept on with their usual acting, immediately they left, I threatened her to either choose one or ditch both, because I wasn't comfortable pretending just like them, but instead she got annoyed, that I was jealous because I wasn't bold enough to have a boyfriend, saying she kept one fir funds, while the other for warmth and love since the first one was forming righteous guy, while all these arguments were going on, our next door neighbors were listening and to end the argument because I was pissed, I told her if she didn't change I was good to let the innocent guy know about her cheating act.
The next day, she stormed into the room with her group of wayward friends that they were going to beat me up for exposing her act to the rich boyfriend, I was astonished because even though I threatened to report her, I knew I wouldn't because at the end it really wasn't my business, I just wasn't comfortable with the immoral act going on in my room. I tried to tell her I wasn't the one that got it leaked, but knew it was a fruitless cause, so I held my peace, but glad she was found out after weeks of malice with me, she even stoped replying to my morning greetings, her two boyfriends ditched her, it was later discovered that they used her as a bet among themselves and she fell stupidly for it. At least I was vindicated at last and she later learned to respect herself and not throw herself about. She lost the genuine love of her first boyfriend and also was used by the fake boyfriend.
As for me, I learned not to interfere in matters that are none of my business and also mind the statement I utter when I'm upset, as it can be used against me in the future.
