If you love once, you love twice.
He is telling people lies about you, I don't know what those are, what I do know is you don't want a jerk, who spins yarns, about you who used to also be a best friend.
You deserve better than that.
My answer is maybe when he grows up one day, a long way down the track he will realise what a jerk he was at least.
But my guess is, he broke up because he doesn't want to be in any serious relationships, he's not ready for one.
