I think I was SAed by my ex....I slept over at his place and I woke up to him having sex with me, but even after I woke up I let it happen and didn't say no...I'm too scared to talk to anyone about it in my life because he is one of my best friends and I've finally started getting people to be ok with the friendship
@Salsmanm I'm sorry this happened. Yes, this is SA. You were sleeping and didn't give consent. No one should take advantage of you while you're vulnerable and sleeping, doesn't matter what the relationship is. I think you have an idea that your friends would say the same thing, right?
@mytwistedsoul yea, but I don't know what to do...every time I try to separate myself from him I end up missing him or he will do something to pull me back in and then when he gets mad at me I can't help but try to do whatever I can to make him forgive me...I know it's a toxic friendship but I don't know how to leave
@Salsmanm It's hard leaving a toxic relationship, but it is possible . It's almost like an addiction. It sounds like there's a trauma bond too. It takes a lot of strength and is a big first step to even acknowledge and admit it's a toxic relationship.
