Looking back, I think I was sexually assaulted in my old relationship. I think I always knew but tried to block it out because he was my boyfriend and he said sorry. But it happened and I’m only now letting myself even think that was it.

What did you do to process it? I don’t know where to put these feelings. Im sad and angry and wish I could confront him about it but I can’t, and I don’t think that would be a good idea even if I could

mine was a helllll of a lot easier bc it was a one time hookup, but i also went thru some shit with an ex and i don't think you'll ever be done processing it if im honest. it's hard to wrap ur head around someone u trusted so much betraying u like that, i think its important to over time remove them from everything, block them and delete stuff u have with them. its not the best but u have to remember the only closure u can get from this is unfortunately from urself. he fucked up

it'll never be an easy thing to look back on, it's not ok but it's the truth. all u can do is heal, stand strong in ur boundaries and grow in ur relationship with urself

Yeah, when we were together and even for months after, I would refuse to let myself think about it because it didn’t seem “that bad” and he seemed genuinely sorry. But we broke up in July and I actually cut him off for real a few days ago. Looking back now, I can see how bad our relationship really was and can finally acknowledge what happened. When I think of him, it’s luckily not the first thing I think of. But now I’ve come to terms with this event, and will actively have to heal from it

I’m grateful to not have him in my life anymore and to have had things end when they did. I know I’ve grown a lot in these past few months (especially with my boundaries!!) and I’m proud of myself for it :) thank you for helping, it means a lot. I’m sorry you went through something similar. We got this <3

we do got this girl. healing isn't linear as well so don't beat urself up on this if u have a moment where it hurts to think about. it's completely normal and unfortunately apart of the process. we live on🫶
