there's a difference when someone experiences something emotionally damaging. It's not hyped. It's serious. |
Yes, I do know how to apologize. But I'm not OP's boyfriend, am I? I also know how to forgive and how to not jump to conclusions based on one comment. Thanks for the advice, but you can keep it to your judging-self. |
Yup. Totally didn't see it from that perspective. The idea of me raping anyone, let alone her, was so far-fetched to me, I saw it as funny because it was an outrageous way for me to ostensibly justify how lazy I was about not wanting to get off my ass and take a walk. |

OP, you were raped before, and physically abused. You're sleeping with someone now but not in a committed relationship. You were so drunk that you were unable to have sex, but you were trying (with the guy you sleep with but can't call boyfriend). That guy made a joke about raping you, despite knowing your history. You're in an online forum wondering what to do.
Walk away from this guy and go find yourself a skilled therapist. You have some work to do on yourself so that you value yourself more. The guy isn't the issue, he's just a symptom of what you really need to address. Good luck. |

Why were you too drunk to have sex? I don't understand.
If you had just met him I would get it, but I think it's totally fine to have drunk sex with boyfriends or husbands! IMO it's the best... |
I don't agree that everything PP lists is evidence of OP not valuing herself but I do agree with this. That you wouldn't DTMFA when he is clearly such a MF is worrisome. |
I had 3 drinks. So I was dizzy and out of it. |
But ready to bang? What kind of woman does this? |
possibly because alcohol is an aphrodisiac? |

Interesting article on alcohol and human sexuality:
http://66.199.228.237/boundary/Sexual_Addiction/alcohol_and_human_sexuality.pdf The physiological suppression (e.g. whiskey dick etc.) which inhibits sex is pharmacological. The disinhibition which encourages sex is only partly pharmacological. But there is also a good part of that effect which is a result of socially learned expectancies. |
I feel like this thread was orchestrated by the bro trolls just to say this. ^^ |
It's her boyfriend. You don't have sex with your partner/spouse when you've had a couple of drinks? |
I think you have just cause to stop seeing him. Trust your gut! He should be apologizing instead of making you think you're the one with a problem. |
OP, read this post again and again. |
| Why are you still seeing him? And yes, you need to cut back on the drinking. Don't make yourself vulnerable in that way. |
