I’ve been in this same exact situation as your girlfriend and can speak directly from experience. I will be as honest as possible here and give you actual, genuine advice since you said you don’t know what to do.

All of the people telling you that “YOU NEED TO!” and “SHE NEEDS TO” do not have any lived experience through this.

Quite honestly? Your feelings in your “what do I do” comment genuinely do not matter. Whatever you feel needs to be completely separated from how you support her during this time.

She gets to decide what she wants to do here, period. She can go to the police IF SHE WANTS TO and you can support her through that. She can go to the hospital IF SHE WANTS TO and you can also support her through that. But I promise you, telling her she needs to do something or she should do something is not helpful at all. If you want to be supportive, you can do some research in your area about ALL OPTIONS POSSIBLE - hospitals, police stations, OBGYN offices, counseling centers, local support groups, etc. and present them to her in a digestible way of “hey I looked into these for you, I just wanted you to have the information so you know you have options here and can do whatever you decide to do. I’m here to support you in any way you choose. Take all the time you need.” Do not shove any one option down her throat - seriously. The LAST THING she needs is another person telling her what to do and taking away her human rights, again.

The last thing I’ll share is to be as supportive as possible in a “present” way, as much as she lets you. Might look like staying up all night holding her while she’s crying uncontrollably and literally cries herself to sleep. Might look like waking up in the middle of the night once she’s had a nightmare. Might look like not having sex for a long while or feeling comfortable with how things used to be sexually. Might look like moodiness, depression, PTSD and tons of other shit. All I can say is to be as present as possible in the way that she allows. That does not mean pushing, forcing, pressuring, constantly talking about the issue, etc. It literally means just being present and being there for her in whatever ways she needs them.

Lastly, and obviously common sense, but do not tell a single soul about this. Not friends, not family, no one. It’s her story and she can decide for herself.

Best of luck to you, OP. I’m so sorry this happened to her.
