How do I cope with the realization that my ex assaulted me while we were dating?? I don’t know how to handle it and I’m not coping well

Talk to a trusted friend about it. I had the same thing happen and didn’t really process it until years later, talking in a more casual setting was extremely helpful

Uhh normalize verbalizing or taking action when you’ve been affected instead of coping with the “realization” months later.

Let’s not blame the victim for not responding how you like. It’s hard to deal with something you may have never experienced before. We all here are assuming they’re telling the truth I think you may be assuming something else.

Right… not all assault or rape is obvious or overtly violent. It can be as subtle as being coerced into having sex or performing a sexual act that you didn’t want to engage in. Especially if it’s in a relationship, it’s easy to excuse it as normal.

Fr, best to keep sex out of relationships. It only creates a point for conflict.
