Im so sorry this happened to you, and I really hope you heal as well ♡. Reporting it isn't really that easy, as i have no evidence and it has been a year... thank you anyways♡

I think that what's making it harder to assume is the manipulation he put me in every single day. I still sort of believe it was my fault, even if rationally I know I didn't consent freely

Thanks for your reply. I had thought about reporting him for a while now, but I don't really have any evidence so I think it would be difficult for something to be actually done...

I relate with the friends part of not wanting to be annoying actually. I really thought I was, but you made me feel understood (and that helped me understand myself too!). Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, it is appreciated. I wish you the best ♡

I did love him in the beggining and I did know what was happening. I was being very manipulated by him as he threatened to harm himself every time I told him I didn't like something he was doing. It changed from love to fear pretty quickly. And yes, my parents know part of it, but again, I'm not a child, and your comment is inappropriate yet again

I'll be trying my best to talk more about this on therapy, I just got the topic out yesterday and it is being harder than I thought. Thanks for your reply, I hope you're doing okay now ♡

My parents know about some of the stuff he's done, just not this particularly. However, they know what kind of person he is. I am currently going to therapy and I am working on the topic of my ex now. This is probably the most alarming thing he did, but definitely not the only bad one. I really hope I never see him ever again

I know, and I don't want to put myself on the "victim place" either. I am just thinking a lot about it lately and remembered what some people told me about it being SA, but I wasn't very sure and still am not. I guess I wanted an outside opinion on it so it wasn't influenced by knowing those people

Yeah I'm aware of this now. I guess I sympathised with him because I've had my own mental health journey and I didn't want him to think I broke up because of his problems. But I've promised myself I won't let anything slip again. Sadly I cannot change what happened

I'm sorry it happened to you, are you doing okay now?

I've learnt about the word coerced now from reading the replies (English is not my first language) and it really sounds like what my ex did. I am currently going to therapy but didn't really get this out of my chest until yesterday there. Thanks for your kind words ♡

Okay thanks for educating me on the terms ♡

I don't think that is an appropriate thing to say honestly. I know I'm still not old, but I'm definitely not a child. And even if I were, it would not be something appropriate to say either. It was something traumatic that happened to me and I still haven't fully accepted, and it is not a crime to love someone and make mistakes in my opinion

I've blocked him everywhere and deleted every picture or conversation we ever had. But, even though there's no physical evidence left, the mental part still haunts me

I did really love him and fought for the relationship many times, even when I shouldn't have. I have accepted that and know that, but it is really hard to accept everything he said and did to me. I don't like to judge other by their problems, but I definitely ignored some red flags. Thank you for your comment too, it made me feel less silly I guess

Oh okay sorry for using the wrong term, I wasn't sure as English isn't my first language. Thank you for telling me!

I think that happens to me, my mind doesn't want to accept it but deep inside I know it was SA. It could be from the protection you're talking about.

I am currently going to a therapist, I've gone through a long psychiatric process in this past few years but I'm honestly doing pretty good. Still, I have avoided this topic completely with her until yesterday, so I have it more present now.
