Wow. I don't think he can handle the truth. I mean, he probably knows he is exaggerating the story about your ex-t and really doesnt care as long as it gets him the attention he wants, either from whoever he's telling these stories to, or you. I can understand you wanting closure - ie him agreeing to the true story - but I dont think thats likely to happen. He might just be trying to suck you in again to get his narcissistic supplies. If he started spreading the story where he realized and admitted he was wrong and being a butt and called you and wanted to apologize, even then I would be wary, but at least it would be on the right side. Not same sh-it, different decade.
