I think my boyfriend sexually assaulted / raped me

Hi ladies.

Warning, the following contains sexual and graphic description which may be triggering.

So in 2019, me and my partner had been out drinking, we got in at around 4am. He'd been in an aggressive mood all night because he cannot tolerate alcohol.. not even a bit. He's not an alcoholic or anything just whenever he has a drink which is not often, he gets very aggressive and standoffish. He ended up assaulting this bloke in the middle of the nightclub so I took him out. Anyway.. we get home and have sex, I consented..if anything I instigated it but I fell asleep after he cummed. I woke up in a bit of a daze and all hazey because I was still drunk and I remember feeling baby oil being poured all over me and he had his phone light on and was watching his penis going in and out and watching his fingers go in me etc. I kept stirring and I asked him what are you doing and he said "you asked me to do it" -I didn't I know and I know I didn't. He's never done anything like it before and we both was realllllly horny when we come home. We have been together for 4 years at this point and have a child together but I couldn't help but find it a bit weird that he deliberately had his flashlight on so he could see him doing it whilst I was sleeping.

Fast forward to Friday night (28/08/2020) again he’d been out drinking, not me this time I was sober. We had sex, very horny sex and it went on for a while and I was getting sore and tired and a bit bored so I asked him to stop. He did, then I started to fall asleep, he then went back inside and almost got off on the idea I was half asleep and cummed inside me. He then let the dog out for a wee, and that was the last thing I could remember because I fell asleep. I woke up to him again with his flashlight on his phone fingering me, licking me and also fingering me anally. I went into shock and I froze, my body started violently shaking but I thought I was cold.. I woke up and asked him what the time was because he quickly moved aswell he didn’t think I knew what he had done, and he said it was 4am , I said wow that’s late , what time did I fall asleep? He said I have been asleep for an hour, I asked what he’d been doing and he lied and said he was watching tv... the TV was off.

I have been with this man 5 years and his behaviour has really spooked me out, I’m scared to even think about it being the R word. What do you I think? Please help me

Good to hearOP. Take a few days. Process your feelings, think about therapy. Everything else can wait.

I’m so relieved, hope you’ve managed to get a bit of sleep. Please reconsider getting the police involved- for you and your little one’s sale. One practical tip- Turn off Find my Friends and location sharing on your phone.
Look after yourself today, I’m sure you’ll feel all over the place x

hello, I’m safe and sound, we’ve gone to a distant relatives.., he shouldn’t know where we are. Thank you to each and everyone one of you ❤️❤️

That's brilliant news, it was disturbing to read.

Definitely get the abuse logged though.

Hope you and LO can settle ok, must feel strange and disorientating at present. You need to be able to sleep at night in peace.

Aww bless you. You are brave and you and your children are better off out of it. But maybe you should tell the police not only for yourself but he might step it up level and start going out doing it to strangers. X

All you have to do is call 101 or do it online and they'll give you a crime reference. Please do that today.

They won't take it any further unless you want them to.

This is rape. My ex use to do this to me, he once woke me up to his penis being rammed in my throat.
I did not think it was rape until a few months after the breakup.

You cannot consent when asleep and they don't own your body

I'm glad to hear you're safe.

I do think this should be reported, get a paper trail started if nothing else.

It's really difficult to process when it's supposed to be someone you trust and feel comfortable when you bed.

It's like hang on, you're supposed to love me, I should feel safe here and be able to get some rest, so what just happened? It doesn't help that you're half asleep.

OP your post has really disturbed me and I am glad you and your DC are now safe.

I echo other poster in saying report this to the police. It is difficult as you are in shock but you need to consider your future and your children's.

Would you want him to have unsupervised access? Will he push for 50/50? Are you going to stay away and not let him know where you are? At done point you may need to justify your actions and thus will be easier if the is an official I.e police record of his behaviour.

You have done the right thing and bravely left him. I urge you to take the next step and report him.

Good Luck. Flowers

Thank you all, really I appreciate it so much. When things like this happen it’s hard to trust anyone around you, you women have been there in my time of need and I greatly appreciate that. I have been in contact with a sexual assault clinic and spoken to them over the phone... I’m still trying to process everything but thank you all

As pp have said, you are incredibly brave to leave. I went through similar with my exh and had counselling for it.

Good luck in your new life Thanks

I’m so sorry this happened to you OP, I’ve been there. You sound much stronger and more mature than I was though, I didn’t leave. But I remember the confusion of having been assaulted by the person I loved.

You will be ok, as time goes on it will be easier to deal with. For now, just take things one day at a time. Focus on your DC and start to plan your new life.

We’re all here for you. Well done for leaving Flowers

Speaking as someone who was raped, yes this is rape. It does sound like he was recording you if I’m honest and if you feel safe have a look on his videos. You couldn’t consent when your drunk, it also sounds like he wasn’t anywhere near as drunk as you so he probably planned it. You can’t be trusted around him, god knows what he’ll do next. Please please get some help. Private message me if you want to talk, sending a virtual 🤗 💐
