What would you do?

There is this woman where I live who loves to gossip. Her latest gossip is that I am having an affair with one of my guy friends. When I called her on it, she denied that she was spreading rumors and was just teasing the two of us. Which is a lie because I have heard this rumor from several people who told me straight up that she told them. Luckily Wade trusts me end doesn't believe the rumors, but I live in a small town and want your suggestions on how you would deal with this.

I have an idea .

Take her out back and give her a good old fashioned "talking to".

I hate those kinds of gossips, theyre everywhere.

She needs to learn a lesson, and a huge dose of her own medicine!

Well, since Bucks and Blues and I are both from Texas, I can tell you how we'd handle it.

You take her behind the wood shed, you push her up against the wall, and you tell that hussy if you even so much as hear a peep out of her mouth again, you'll beat the living snot out of her. Or you can tell her you're fixing to sue her for defamation of character, and that you'll bring witnesses in, and that you'll own her by the time you get through with her. If she's married, get your hubby to talk to her hubby - that usually stirs the pot.

Or you can simply ignore it. Women like that, no matter what you say or do it makes it worse.

I don't know, I know when I finally get to the face-to-face thing, I've got so much pent up feelings, that I have to remember that they have to swing first - once they swing first, it's open season.

Got into sort of a situation like that... a lot of us parents wanted to keep our athletic director, the in-bred ones didn't - and it all came to a head at a danged track meet in the concession stand that me and two friends were working at. One of 'em was stupid enough to say something snotty to our faces, and Lordy I came unglued. I didn't touch her, but Lordy it took everything I had not to - they kind of backed down after that.

Just don't end up in jail over it! HA!

That can be so harmful. I would go face to face with her and tell her I better be hearing she was wrong from all the people she told this CRAP too. And, if I didn't she would be seeing me again.. Only not so nice this time...

These hussy can wreck your life.. Remember to be sorta nice.. Not too nice though. And, get the man involved too.. It's about him as well...

I wouldn't say a thing personally.... people who know me would know better and sometimes denial and acting up just validates what people are saying remember the saying thou doth prothest to much... sometimes who cares what others think as long as my hubby knows better and so do I... remember a gossip will only talk as long as there is something to talk about and if they get a rise out of you then they will continue with their nastiness because they have been sucessful... Just another point of view to think about what ever you decide good luck and I am sorry you have to deal with such a hateful person try to find your answers with God and good luck.
