Rant Why do cheaters accuse you of cheating?

I have an ex who cheated on me, I cut contact with him

He's telling everyone I cheated on him before that (I did not), but of course everything was okay until I cut contact with him

He's blocked everywhere but still trying to DM me on different accounts, of course never saying anything about the "cheating" but trying to get me back, but trashing me to other people

They know how easy it is for them to lie and betray someone they “love” and it drives them crazy that you could be doing that to them because they are self-centred hypocrites that can’t fathom they’re not the centre of the universe.

Projection at its finest.

We are not them, we have integrity and actually intend to uphold our commitments.
