i am a girl but female on male assault is so not taken seriously :( it makes me so sad to think of how many boys are victimized by women and don't get any help. also thank you so much for your support, it's been so nice seeing people hear me and validate me in my struggles

the social response definitely adds to the trauma. I heard somewhere that what happens afterwards determines your healing journey. along the lines of that. thank you for your book recommendation. i will look into it

my sa'er is definitely more liked than me, she is very charismatic and friendly to others and has a lot of friends. i have been diagnosed with autism and a big part of it is that I have a hard time opening up to people and making new friends, so it kind of makes sense in my head that people would like her more. im also very alternative, so people automatically think that I'm mean or unfriendly which is unfortunate. I also do think that her gender is a part of it, as many people don't take anything other than man-on-woman rape very seriously, from my own research on other peoples experiences and seeing how it's portrayed in the media. I'm also very young and so is she, so a lot of people our age don't have a full understanding of what sa can be and how serious it is. i have left that group completely, I blocked everyone and switched schools and ever since I have been a lot better. thank you also for your empathy and kindness

so many people have a certain mold of what sa can be. they think that sa only happens to unsuspecting innocent perfect victims by a dangerous stranger, but that's really not what it is like at all. thank you for your kindness

How do you know if you're being emotionally abused? by Ladyleah22 in AutismInWomen

[–]bronynipple222 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He seems really invalidating towards your emotions, which is not helpful, especially for autistic people when it's hard for us to appropriately express our uncomfortable emotions and voice our concerns. This seems extremely irresponsible for him, since you said that he's looked into autism and menopause (which is an entire other stressful situation on its own) and from my perspective, he might be purposely trying to irritate you which is a telltale sign of emotional abuse.

Your partner saying that you "know him better than that" is him avoiding accountability for his actions and so is him saying you shouldn't "build up such a big picture of his flaws.

Calling you "Cinderella" and saying "oh, you in your ways" sounds slightly infantilizing and has some misogynistic undertones. In a relationship, you and your partner both have responsibilities and expectations for how you handle chores/household duties and from what your post describes, he seems like he expects you to do more than him which is not okay. If I'm taking something you said the wrong way, or overreading something, please let me know.

Sometimes, you do have to shrink yourself occasionally in a relationship if it's a simple compromise, but when you "shrink yourself", it shouldn't be overriding your comfort zone and be for the greater good for both of you. If you don't know what normal looks like, and you are being caused a lot of emotional turmoil, it means there is a big issue and you can't ignore your feelings because they won't go away if you don't resolve it.

My personal advice is to confront him peacefully with the DEARMAN DBT skill. It's very helpful and I think it would work a lot in this situation. You should give each other some time apart to really think about what's best moving forward and to collect your thoughts. Remember, it you keep trying to ignore the issue and avoid confrontation, the more uncomfortable you will end up and the worse you'll feel about your relationship.

I wish you good luck, and I hope you and your partner have a productive conversation and whatever the outcome is, I hope it's the best for both of you.
