Sexual Assault Thread. Trigger Warning.
When I was 15 years, I went over to my boyfriend& #39;s house, he took off my blouse and I was fine, eventually he sexually assaulted me but it did not register as rape, because he was my boyfriend, I was at his house, my blouse was off etc

And even though I said no and pushed him off, I didn& #39;t do it hard enough, so guess what I thought? It wasn& #39;t rape, I was at my boyfriend& #39;s house topless and blah blah.
I left crying, and I still cant put my finger on why I was crying, was it the pain? was it my body reacting?

When I reached home, he said sorry(fr what?) and that he loved me etc, so you know what 15 year old me did? I went back, again, because my boyfriend loves me. I was sexually assaulted YET AGAIN, this time it was worse and I ran out the house. But guess what I thought yet again?
That& #39;s my boyfriend so it can& #39;t be sexual assault.
I only accepted and processed that this happened to me earlier on this year because I realize I was still affected and it was time that I own my truth.
I am 110% sure, he is not, or was not aware of the fact that he raped me.

All this to say, just because you don& #39;t *think* or can& #39;t *remember* sexually assaulting someone, doesn& #39;t mean that you didn& #39;t.
Just because your friend said that he didn& #39;t, it does not mean that he did not.

Just because the woman/girl put herself back in a situation with you/your friend does not mean that you/he did not sexually assault her before.
I work in this field and it took me 8 years to accept and process that I was raped, and I have all the knowledge and language.

So think about the women who don& #39;t have that wealth of knowledge. How are they going to process that?
Sexual assault is not just a random man coming out of the bush and raping you, its way deeper than that.
Take accountability and stop enabling your friends.
Goodbye.
