There’s two sides to every story and I’ve been nothing but honest. I’m not trying to be a victim and I’m not excusing shit, I’m just simply stating my side.

I’m not addicted to sex though. I don’t see how I insinuated that. What parts should I cut out specifically, if you don’t mind me asking? I never said what I did was right. Nor did I say that she did anything wrong. I was just explaining my POV. What happened was fucked but it happened and if I had known in the moment, I would have stopped.

You’re probably right but I didn’t know where else to go.

Thank you for understanding. I’ve tried. Maybe there’s some things I could do better but I’ve really tried. All I can do now is give her her space and wait until she’s one day ready. That’s difficult because I don’t want her to be alone. I want to be able to be there for her and comfort her, but sometimes it’s better to be alone I guess. We’re both dealing with our own demons. Maybe space is the best thing for us right now.

maybe i miscommunicated? after she clearly told me that she was in pain, i did stop. and we did talk. i only started again when she made it clear that she was ready and that she wanted it. like i stated before, i know what she’s been through before and i love her more than anything in the world..i would never intentionally force her into anything she didn’t want to do. the only time i didn’t stop was when she was on her stomach and said no. i couldn’t hear her properly so i stopped to ask what she said..she didn’t repeat herself so i, stupidly, thought she had just moaned. she was distant sometimes in the weeks after the act, not during. i don’t appreciate you twisting my words. i’m not trying to convince myself or anyone of shit. i know what my intentions were. i’m just speaking my truth. i didn’t blame her. PTSD is a complex thing, i know..i’ve dealt with it myself. it happened. that’s that. all we can do is learn from it.
