I posted this on the sex forum on MN but thought maybe I wouldn’t get many replies there so I’d post here also.

I have a question about an encounter I had year ago. I’m currently 26 married with two children. Been with husband since we were at school.
We broke up for a year at college, he slept with one person, I slept with two, we got back together the rest is history.

Sometimes I find myself thinking about one of those encounters. Both times I spoke to the men before meeting them, mental health for me wasn’t great, but it was clear from both sides we were meeting just for sex.
With one of the men we met, started having sex, he used a condom, half way through he took off his condom and started trying to penetrate me. I made it clear we couldn’t without condoms. He put another one on and we carried on. He then did it again. I said no but it just resulted in him rubbing his penis against my vagina until he had just about finished. At which point I got myself dressed and he kissed me goodbye. I walked home crying.
Was this like a sexual assault? Or was it just a bit of miscommunication?

At the time I didn’t see it as assault but as the years have passed and everything I’ve experienced sexually with my husband it’s popped up as a flashback at times, and now I’m questioning it.

He was ignoring the way you wanted to have sex and selfishly working to his own agenda. Basically using your body and disrespecting your right to enjoy the experience. It was clearly deeply unpleasant for you. He was relying on you being too polite to just end the experience and got what he wanted. I would feel creeped out too. Sorry this happened to you.

I'm sorry that happened, you clearly communicated that sex was consensual based on using a condom, his taking it off twice is not a miscommunication and to me is a clear assault. I can understand why you are making excuses for his behaviour, it can be difficult to see these things for what they are when you're involved.
I think some counselling may help you to see this more ckearly . I'm sorry that happened to you.

I’m in therapy currently due to being a nurse on a covid ward for the last year. However I do think I’d like to speak about this now. I’m not sure whether it’s the whole Sarah Everand situation and seeing lots of comments on Twitter has made me reflect on it again.
