Been watching coronation street about the storyline with Tim's ex ....
When I had just turned 15 and still at school I had a 14 month relationship with a council workman who was working on the school. He was 23. The first 5 months were fine then unbeknownst to me he met a 20 year old girlfriend. The rest of the relationship with me was then him keeping me secret so he didn't lose his job but having a semi public relationship with the 20 year old as i didnt know and they didnt want me finding out in case i said something to the teachers. It was a sexual relationship with me. He was very possessive with me , made me truant from school to be with him when could get time off and we went out of the way pubs in the evenings then had sex in his car. He said he was going to marry me and he loved me. He didnt allow me to go back to school for my exams as he said i might speak to boys.He used see me regularly at first then when he met the 20 year old he had nights with his 'mates' when he didnt see me then other nights used to pick me up about 7pm drive round for an hour then drop me off. We were still having sex. Then after 14 months he dumped me and went with the 20 year old. She knew about me but I didn't know about her. He told me when he dumped me it only lasted as long as it did because he couldn't finish with me when I was still 15 and at school as i might of told someone and he'd of lost his job and he'd been trying to get me to finish with him for months. He had been being nasty and distant but I just thought that was the way it was in relationships. The 20 year old had been advising him about what to do about me. When we split up she came to my house and asked if I was pregnant or anything. When my parents found out I was nearly 16 and he got me an engagement ring and made me tell them nothing had gone on and we were getting engaged. I'd never really thought about it much other than it was a painful time in my past but with the story line where Tim and the older woman and they say he was groomed and abused but Tim doesn't know if he was its brought it back.and made me think.
