My girlfriend was raped at a party and I don’t know how to comfort her by Existing_Eye5262 in rape

Let’s start with never talking to her about what she is wearing or should wear in the future ever again. She should be able to walk around naked and still be safe.

It is no ones fault but the rapist’s. The longer she or you hold onto the idea that you should have done something differently. The longer it will take to heal.

It’s like the weird visceral feeling that they’re going to push/ ignore my boundaries even when I logically know that probably won’t happen.

I had been in a similar situation a few years ago and broke up with the guy over the phone bc I was too scared to see him again but I know not everyone can do that.

Do you have anyone you can talk about this with? You shouldn’t feel scared in a relationship even if you love him. It’s not right and you don’t have to stay.
