Someone who truly loves you would never do something like that to you. The good times are easier to look back on in retrospect, but you broke up with him for a reason. Things were bad, really bad if it involved SA. It’s not worth the pain, I promise. So many people out there will love you without causing you so much pain, I promise.

You can have good times with someone who isn’t a sexual assaulter. If he’s capable of sexual assault, he’s capable of other things. You did the right thing by leaving now instead of putting yourself through more trauma.

It's never worth going back to someone who would do that to you.

Just remind yourself that you can’t have the good without the bad and the bad ain’t worth it. I’m glad you can remember the good, but it’s important to remember there was bad. Ofc

You’re welcome. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to DM me. Giving my life to Jesus is the only reason I’m still alive today.

after my bf repeatedly SAd me, it helped me to understand and put things into perspective realize that behaviors like that are symptoms of systemic lack of respect—and, as others have said—that’s just one symptom of a bigger problem. and if he’s willing to push // disrespect you in that area, it means he doesn’t respect you and why should i think he would respect me in any other areas if this one which is as simple as a yes or no, he can’t respect?
