[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. If he hadn't also claimed that she forced him into a months long relationship as girlfriend and boyfriend, because she raped him one night, then I would have more empathy for him. He is a grown man with supposedly full cognitive abilities and functioning. Did he have Stockholm Syndrome, where he was held prisoner in his own mind? Or did he regret the relationship and instead of accepting his own adult choices and responsibility, he blames her? [/quote]

OP, turn the tables, just for a moment in your head and imagine this was a women. Do you blame your female friends for being in a suite relationships? If a female friend of yours was in an emotionally (or physically) abusive relationship and at then end said her ex raped her, would you be more sympathetic?

If you wouldn't be, then that's okay. But it doesn't negate their experience any less.

Men are validly victims of do rustic abiuse, assault, and rape. Due to societal "norms", there isn't a lot of support for them. They receive responses from friends and family much like what you're doing. It doubles their pain, suffering, and impairs their ability to heal and move on. The fact that this man is bringing this up much after the relationship is closed demonstrates it could well be true. [/quote]
