I’m a freshman in college and just got a boyfriend, but I was raped a year ago and have ptsd and it’s been very triggering. How do I communicate this to him? I feel like I’m dirty and ruined when I acknowledge that this happened to me

hopefully he would have the emotional maturity to handle a conversation about it, but if he can't, that's a big red flag anyway...

Poor girl my heart breaks for you. Are you deep into the relationship or is it rather new? That may determine if you want to wait to say anything.

Scroll past if you got nothing good to say. If you don’t got the answer you weren’t being asked for.
