[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, my husband knows everything about when I was raped in college. [/quote]

Did you  just tell him? Did you prepare him in  some way? I want to tell him, but don’t want to at the  same time. I’m also unsure how to bring it up.[/quote]

I told him pretty early in the relationship because like another poster, I had PTSD, and starting a sexual relationship with someone new required a great deal of trust. Honestly, in the beginning, I told him probably just the basic fact that it happened. It was over years (and likely after some drinks) that I opened about about everything that happened. We’ve been married for 8 years and togrther for 11 so it’s been awhile since we’ve had the initial conversation. Not to get political, but Me too, trump, etc. has brought a lot of this back up for me and we’ve had many conversations about how I’m doing in light of all this.

Is this a new relationship for you? Is it something you feel you want to share? This needs to be on your terms, whatever decision you make. [/quote]
