Friend accused me of emailing her ex-husband

[Anonymous]

Sending an email detailing all the things that she had told me about him. She told me there were things in the email that she ONLY told me- though she admitted there were many things, included many made up lies.

For the record, I've never met her husband, never spoken to him or emailed him, and I was out of the country when said emailing occurred (and not thinking of her). (Though, he is a kind of minor celebrity in his field and I'm sure I could have gotten his email if I wanted to)

She claims I used a "proxy" to do it

This is a relatively new friendship but we got close quickly, and I feel bad for her that she's in such a bad place.

But is this something you can recover from? Should I even try to reach out to her and reiterate once again that- no, I never emailed him?

I am sorry but your friend sounds like she is mentally ill. Slowly back away from this relationship, do not call her out or challenge her just fade away.

Weird. If you've never met your friend's husband, wouldn't she know that?

[Anonymous]

Ah, sorry, ex-husband.

Yeah, sounds like mental illness.

She sounds...troubled. It's a new relationship and you don't know her well. I'd let this friendship go.

I would email her and tell her that I did not contact her ex-husband in any way, shape or form. Then end the relationship, because clearly she has mental problems.

FWIW, she claims to have seen the email, shown to her by her exhusband, who sounds like a real piece of work. They have a strange relationship so I could see him showing her it.

I don't think she hallucinated that, but I don't know why she has placed the blame on this email on me? I feel like she should know that I would never do that, regardless of the fact that apparently some of the things in said email were things she only told me. (Among a myriad of bizarre lies, apparently)

She's crazy. Cut bait.

She sounds nuts.

Borderline personality? Run away and don't look back.

Mental illness with paranoia. Cut ties.

She sounds nuts. She's not a friend. Time for some good ghosting.
