I’m with a relatively new partner , about 8 months in to dating and things having been going pretty well. I’m late 20s, he’s late 30s. I have a history of sexual assault which he knows about. Something happened which made me uncomfortable and I’m looking for some perspective?

We’d been out for drinks and I was pretty pissed. I’ve had some family bad news recently and I was a bit emotional and drank a bit too much wine but not completely out of it.

When we got back to his flat we started having sex. I remember I was pretty messy, staggering about but I still consented and wanted to do it. I started to give him oral sex and during this he suddenly pushed my head and made it (sorry) go too far in and made me gag. I threw up … on him.

I was extremely apologetic but he made me feel really awful and like it was totally disgusting. I get it’s not nice but he pushed my head down! And I was really drunk. I ended up apologising so much and basically grovelling for him to give me a cuddle that night when we went to bed. The next day he was still saying I can’t believe you did that it’s so gross.

I don’t know. I feel upset and strange about it. AIBU?

He sexually assaulted you, hurt you and you’re apologising? He’s not a good man. Please leave him and find someone who treats you right

Some comments here are to dump him, I dont think its a dumpable offense, its a common thing for men to get excited in that moment of a BJ. However him blaming you is not right as it was his fault you gagged and was sick.. make it clear he should never do that to you. and move on from it. Theres no reason to keep going over it.. xx

The reason to dump him is the vile way he behaved afterwards not necessarily the sex act, though that's also vile

Holy shit are you serious?

Yes. Op was performing a sex act, he got carried away resulting in her throwing up. She willingly took part. That isn’t assault

I did but he was just so rude about it. He said ‘do you realise what’s just happened?! I know you’re drunk but you just fucking threw up on my dick. Fucking disgusting’ and then stomped off to have a shower.

Later I said I don’t think it would have happened if you hadn’t pushed my head and he just brushed it off and said it was only for a second.

The fact he didn’t apologise after you told him what caused it tells you all you need to know about him

Takersgonnatake · 25/04/2026 11:47

Totally his fault. Maybe get a chart and a pointy stick and explain to him the anatomy of the human throat and the purpose of the gag reflex?
However you really shouldn’t have apologised at the time! He caused this! And now he feels all justified. Ew.

CarbootJunction · 25/04/2026 11:43

I'm glad you vomited on him; it's the absolute least he deserved.

Poodlelove · 25/04/2026 11:39

All his fault and he should not be behaving like that was during or after.
I would bin him.

RoseField1 · 25/04/2026 11:37

He's revolting.
An absolute arsehole. Please bin this one off! Pushing your head without consent, then shaming you for an accident that he caused is just disgusting. TMI maybe but I threw up on DH once after getting a bit over enthusiastic and he laughed and cleaned himself off. Wouldn't have occurred to him to make me feel bad.

Did you point out that he caused it by pushing your head? You did nothing wrong at all

Is it assault though if OP was already giving him oral? She willingly did it

This is porn culture AKA recorded rape culture.

Grabbing someone's head and forcing them to do something is assault. Grabbing someone's head and forcing them to do something sexual is sexual assault.

He has sexually assaulted you.

For your own wellbeing you need to end this relationship.

Being sexually assaulted once in a relationship is once too many.

I'm so sorry this has happened to you 💐

LittleGreenDragons · 25/04/2026 11:20

Stop apologising. Start running.

I have to ask though OP are you seriously considering staying with him?

audhdandme · 25/04/2026 11:18

Next time he’s eating a banana put his head down into it and see how he likes it.

it isn’t your fault OP that could happen without drink aswell. It’s the gag reflex. I wouldn’t say this is enough to end things with someone, he was probably feeling abit stupid too but I would say it’s worth having a conversation about boundaries and expectations

CoffeeDate22 · 25/04/2026 11:17

Thanks everyone , it seems like most people agree it’s not a good sign. Good to know I’m not overreacting. I apologised a lot because he seemed so disgusted, it was just my immediate reaction because I felt embarrassed I suppose.

Are we sure the op is genuine?

MN reviewed it so I guess someone reported and they have concluded that I am genuine.

I’m not sure why anyone would bother to make such a thing up

Gagging and vomiting are involuntary mechanisms which you can't control.
Ramming your dick into someones throat is a choice.

He's 100% to blame and is a disrespectful bastard.

Mumlaplomb · 25/04/2026 10:45

It’s a shame to read two threads like this today. Again he’s a bad egg dump him.

Dubious after reading the other thread as well.

He should be mortified and apologetic. He’s not a good man.

hypnovic · 25/04/2026 10:39

Bin him. He was disgusting and he should be grovelling for being gross not the other way round. Every day im more glad I'm single

usedtobeaylis · 25/04/2026 10:38

What are you apologising for? Get him to fuck.
