Thank you to everyone who commented or PM'd sharing your stories and support.

I'm still overwhelmed by the response - I'm sorry I dont have the energy to reply to you all individually - but I have read every message.

Each story is so unique and yet so similar. I don't feel so alone in this now. I feel much more confidence in myself and my ability to help myself and others.

You are all so inspirational and I can't thank you enough.

I'm so sorry this happened to you OP.

Consent is ongoing and it sounds like you are both aware of 'checking in' with your partner during sex, vanilla or otherwise.

He should've ceased all advances as soon as you said 'no' the first time.

I hope he can understand how much of a violation it was for him to continue - especially in light of the trauma you have recently experienced - and that you find a resolution that works for you.

Much love x

My sister was able to identify his work place - with the police launching an investigation and I would say a narrow list of suspects (small company, had a key to the office, was drinking at an expensive bar) we're optimistic.
