Should my boyfriend blame me for being sexually assaulted? I was black out drunk, don’t remember much, but i did think the guy was a trusted friend. I did report this incident.

It’s not your fault for being assaulted, what so ever. However, if both parties were drunk it’s a different situation as neither could consent and it falls into a grey area. However it would depend on what exactly happened. I also think that being black out drunk without either your significant other or close, responsible female friends is irresponsible for you as you need someone who is there as a lookout/caretaker type person

A key factor here is if at any point, drunk or not, if you have any bit of consent/ or even over-closeness/overstepping boundaries eve though you’re blackout drunk isn’t much of an excuse to disrespect a partner and they’d have every right to be upset. HOWEVER*** if you genuinely were assaulted and never consented even slightly, and reported the incident as you stated, cut off all communications with said trusted friend, then your boyfriend should really prioritize comforting you in this

Were you assaulted while you were drunk? Or are you saying it was assault BECAUSE you were drunk? Bc in the former case, yeah ur absolutely not at fault for someone elses violence and as you have every right to be drunk, that doesn’t make it any more ok of him. But if the latter… you cant get drunk & cheat as a loophole to make it not cheating. Not jumping to conclusions thats what you’re saying, but if it is, no. A choice you make while drunk is still your own (if of course it WAS a choice).

I also don’t want this to sound like I’m saying your lying or anything!—I’m just provided a perspective which would be understandable to be upset!

I generally am a caretaker even when I am drunk which means that they don’t necessarily have to be a DD or sober
