OK, it’s not really much of an AIBU but traffic etc, ya know. New account for this so as not to draw attention.
I have a friend who had started an affair. At some point during the affair she wanted out, it was only a fling that had run its course and she wanted to get back to monogamy as the "main" relationship had significantly improved.
At this point the guy she was sleeping with threatened to tell her partner if she stopped the affair (as well as threatening to ruin her and that if she didn't see him again she would regret it etc). As she’d had a previous affair she was certain that this would ruin their relationship. She went back on the understanding that it happened one time only. This repeated again and again for 4 months. She eventually blocked all contact at which point the guy contacted her partner.
The way I see this there was an element of blackmail and coercion but am unsure if she was raped. She had an option to stop this contact but didn’t want to take that option as she wanted to protect herself and her partner. She said no but couldn’t continue to say no in the face of these threats.
What should she say to the Police? Just describe the events or state the crime they believe has been committed? TIA.
