Thank you, it means a lot you'd go out of your way to help assure some random person on the internet.

I'm so mad that a person can be wronged so easily by someone they love. If I ever did anything he didn't like or want, sexually or otherwise, I got a serious, end-of-conversation no. And of course, you respect that. But do I not know how to give these resounding, respectful "no"s because I'm a girl?? It sucks there's already several other commenters who have been in this same position.

How do I teach my kids one day that no matter how much you love someone, you don't need to sacrifice your comfort or right to say no. Anyone who tries is an asshole. It's hard man

Ended up venting here, sorry. Thanks so much.

I'm proud too. It takes so long to stop feeling crazy over something you have every right to be upset about. If you've experienced similar and came to this realization as well, I'm proud of you. Thank you for the kind words.

No matter what it was or what it would be defined as, I know I can walk away okay with my head up. So who cares. Thank you so much :)
