Last night I received a text message from a friend whom I haven't seen or spoken to in a while asking if I was okay and letting me know that he's always here if I need him. I was, understandably, confused and replied saying that I was fine, why did he ask. He messaged back saying that he heard my boyfriend had laid his hands on me at a house party a while back and that I'm pregnant. I was stunned - neither of these things are true and I had no idea why someone would say such a thing. I replied straight away saying that neither of those things are true and asked him who he heard it from. He told me that a mutual friend of ours told him at basketball training.
I decided to contact this mutual friend's girlfriend (quite a good friend of mine) and asked her if she'd heard anything about me recently. She said that she had and that it was her who told her boyfriend, but that she'd also said that she didn't think it was true. I told her that she was right, neither of those things was true, and asked her who she heard it from. She couldn't remember as she'd been told a couple of months ago.
I decided to message another friend of mine just to see how far this rumour had spread and she immediately replied saying that she had heard a rumour about 3 months ago that I had found out that I was pregnant and that my boyfriend punched me in the stomach at a house party to make me miscarriage. I told her that none of it was true and that I was just trying to trace the source so that I could set the record straight. I was completely astounded - the rumour was over 3 months old, had changed as it was passed around my friends and it had taken this long for word of it to reach me.
I eventually narrowed the root of the rumour to a house party I attended about 4 months ago at my best friend's house. At the party, I was complaining to my best friend that my period was late and she made a joke that maybe I was pregnant. Some of our other friends joined the conversation (my boyfriend included) and the guys began joking around about ways to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy. My best friend's boyfriend said that punching a girl in the stomach to make her miscarriage would be a great way to do it, and we all said that he was completely inhumane, but laughed it off because he was just joking. Somehow, this story has been twisted into the rumours that have gone around friends who weren't actually at the party.
Basically, it leaves me with about 4 people who may have started the rumour. Whilst I'm not angry that the rumour was spread around, it did make me annoyed that people were so ready to believe that my boyfriend would hurt me. I plan on asking around these 4 people to find out who exactly started the whole thing and why. But once I find out, what should I do? Ask for an apology and leave it at that? Try and steer clear of them from now on because they clearly can't keep their mouth shut?
Yes, this was said at a party but there were about 8 of us there early helping my friend set up. There is no way it could have been someone eavesdropping because everyone there was a part of the conversation.
I'd just like to know who started it for my own peace of mind. Most people I have spoken to have been dubious of the rumour, but still. It wasn't a nice thing to say.
