This post has been removed on so many subs, a friend told me to post here. I hope you guys can help.

I don't want to go through a lot of detail because I have been dealing with this for over a year now. So I will try to be as direct as possible.

I am not very good with break ups. And when I had to break up with my ex, I did a really shitty job of it. Basically ghosted her with little to no explanation. Her reaction was to accuse me of rape. The last year has been incredibly taxing. Being in and out of courts. Trying to keep my friends on my side. Holding onto my job. But finally the charges have been dropped and she can't contact me anymore.

But where do I go from here. I have no hopes of getting my dream job now. I can't even approach a woman any more. How do I move past this. How do I regain control of my life?

TL;DR Ex falsely accused me of rape. I was proven innocent. How do I regain control of my life?
