Last year, I had a one night stand with a girl from my social group after a few drinks. At the time, I did not know she had a boyfriend, and only found out the next day. Three months later, I was told by senior members of the social group I had to leave, as the girl had told everyone I had gotten her drunk and forced myself upon her.
It is now six months later, and 90% of my friends have abandoned me. I know in some ways I am incredibly fortunate in that there were no police charges. Apparently the girl's boyfriend insisted she go to the police, but I heard nothing from them, which makes me think either she did not go or the police did not feel it was worth pursuing. However, I am still feeling incredibly isolated as a result. I find it hard to trust people, and I find myself paranoid that people I meet will have heard the rumors. What should I do to get over this stage?
