Hello!
In the amount of time I’ve had to myself while quarantining, I’ve had a lot of time to reflect on people and things from my past years. Somewhere along this timeline I have understood the reality that I was raped by my former boyfriend of 2 years. It took me till now to acknowledge that throughout our relationship, he had guilted me into performing sexual acts on him through the silent treatment, saying I owed him, etc, which led me to believe that I was doing something wrong and needed to do better. I feel stupid that I let this go on for so long, and this eventually lead to what I thought was us having consensual sex, which I now realize was rape. The entire day, I had exclaimed that I was not ready after agreeing to do so the previous day, and he spent the day telling me I had already said I would so now I had to, and during the act itself, even after I had hesitantly agreed, I was feeling uncomfortable and upset. I cannot believe I have not realized this till almost 3 years later, but I wanted to reach out in this page and see if this is a normal occurrence because currently I feel like an idiot for not realizing. I am not able to talk to my family about this issue for various reasons, so I am really grateful this website exists for people to share their stories and seek help
Acknowledging rape years after it occurred. Is this normal?
