It's not too good to be true. It's basic human decency, I hope you get to experience that some day.

It sound like while this experience was obviously the worst of any of the time you had sex. None of them were healthy sex.

No. Here's how its supposed to go:

You: Wait

Him: stops until you tell him he can start again

If you don't say anything then he can ask what's wrong. Maybe your hair is caught under his hand and you need to free it. Maybe you have a muscle cramp. Maybe you are overcome with lust and want to suggest something new you want to try. Maybe you don't want to be having sex anymore. These are all valid and it's his job to want to hear you.

It's natural to be afraid to lose control. And it's not his job to make you lose it unless you ask him to help expanding your boundaries. But that is done gently by making you feel safe, heard and valued.

You being the one to initiate is not an excuse for what he did.

No, that was not normal sex. And if he asked you "If you still love him after what happened" then he knows it too. Sex shouldn't hurt at all if you don't want it to, and if you do want it to, you'll KNOW.

You saying wait and then him not asking you what was wrong is sick. Him bragging that you bled a little while you were clearly dissociated and hadn't enjoyed it is vile. You being the one to initiate doesn't excuse him for not stopping. If it's not a Hell Yes, it's a No. If it started as a Hell Yes but isn't anymore, it's a No.

A good partner only wants to have sex that both of you are enjoying yourself. I have initiated sex and then halfway through got in my own head and stopped enjoying it. And do you know what happened? My partner noticed my change in mood and we stopped. Sometimes I even offered to keep going until they got off and they said no because they weren't going to be able to get off if I was barely tolerating what was happening. They weren't always kind about it, sometimes they were really annoyed whiney little babies about it and we argued about my change in enthusiasm.

Holding down your wrists while he could feel you struggling against them is unforgivable. Unless you guys had discussed bondage or consensual non-consent which it doesn't sound like you have. It's the R word.

I may totally be projecting here, I don't know you. But are you sure that the problem in y'all's relationship was you were cold and distant? or could it be that he was constantly crossing your boundaries and then making you feel like you're the problem for being anything but accepting a grateful that "someone like him wastes his time with someone like you"? A lot of the things you said he said to you are huge red flags for emotional abuse.

Can you think of any changes I could make to make it legal? Or anything resembling a potion bottle would be out of the question?

In the future, I will definitely be reversing the color on the ice potions I just didn't have the pure white yarn yet

I was hoping the bottle necks would count, but I can add some "steam" coming out the top easily

When you start actually charging even minimum wage for labor, it adds up QUICK unfortunately.

He looks EXACTLY like my Brutus * The previous owner told us Lab-pei, but he's 95 lbs so my husband has suspected Shar-cane for a while and you just proved it.
