i've got a bit of a problem, and it will help to know the story:
so i gave my boyfriend a bit of an ultimatum just a few weeks ago. i told him he needed to stop using an illegal substance, or i was through. there had also been multiple relationship problems that i had let him know about, and he'd told me some of the ones i'd had with him. well, he needed a day or two to think about the ultimatum, and when he did, he begged me to take him back. i told him that i needed some time and space to think about some stuff, so he was ok with it and told me "whatever i needed". but he kept calling & talking to me. i politely told him that his behavior was not what i considered time and space. he didnt take it well, and has been ignoring me since. that was roughly 2 or 3 weeks ago. now, my best friend, we'll call him JP, has a good friend from home who is dating a girl at another college that the ex-boy (call him J) knew from his hometown. (small world). his friend calls him today to tell him he'd heard a rumor that J broke up with me because he'd heard i was fooling around on him with JP. not the case, at all. now, the only way this rumor could have started was for J to have told the girlfriend.
my question is this: since he's been ignoring me, etc, i've just been non-reactionary. i havent been giving in to his slights and minor insults, and i've basically been being the bigger person in the whole situation. when i heard about the rumor, i merely set it straight, but it really bothered me that he would be so childish. what should i say to him/ how should i confront this, because i certainly do not appreciate rumors being started about me. or should i just elt it go? sorry that was so lengthy. and i appreciate any advice :)
