While we were in highschool my ex used to coax me into wagging my classes(he was expelled so he didnt come anyway) and wed got to his place..I was always reluctant and slightly scared
Id heard rumor he beat up his ex girlfriend. Anyways...So I wouldet him take me off school property to his house where we would mess around amd make out..

Except a few times I felt sick and I didnt want to but did it because he insisted.. I wanted to just sit down by myself for a while but he made me touch him in private areas..and wouldnt let me pull my hand away.. There was this one time I said I didnt want to do oral..
I ended up physically throwing up...I once told him not to touch me but he wouldmt stop touching me...is this sexual abuse..I just want to knkw so I can stop wondering and move on with my life...Am I overreacting...

@shadowz19972014,
You need counseling. Is it abuse? I'd rather a professional weighed in on this, as you might need treatment, and certainly someone unbiased to talk to.

Seems off hand the issue of abused or not is secondary to the issue of you not having a back bone when in a relationship.

How old are you now? You talk about things that happened in high school.

From what you have described, I'd say YES, you were sexually assaulted.

Counseling will help you deal with this nightmare from the past.

@shadowz19972014,
At this point, how you feel about it is the most important issue. If, as it seems, you feel you need counseling, you should have it.

I'd say that it was abuse. As whether of legal age or not, if what you are being made to do is something that you do not want to do, that is abuse.

In any relationship, neither person in the relationship should be made to do something that he or she feels is wrong or unacceptable. Ever.
My 2 Cents worth.

My my then all couples are constantly abusing each other in any relationship unless you define made as physical force or the threat of physical force.

@BillRM,
Maybe you should read the op again?? It sure read like he did not give her a choice. Notice he said "he insisted?" Wouldn't let me pull my hand away?" "he wouldn't stop touching me?"when asked? What does that sound like to you, if not physical force or the threat of physical force. It is abuse.



Here is what she said...

"I didnt want to but did it because he insisted..

he made me touch him in private areas..and wouldnt let me pull my hand away..

I once told him not to touch me but he wouldmt stop touching me."

She is keeping the relationship going of her own free will at least up to this point and I could insisted all I care to and my wife would at the very very minimal would tell me to go to hell and get up.

Nor do I think that if I would pull that kind of behaviors more then once if I would have a wife.

In any case, I did not get the impression that his insisted was by force or threat of force and as I said in my first posting her problem is no backbone not abused.

At the very least, he didn't show respect for her......only considered what he wanted...

I still feel that what she described is abuse.

@Enaj,
I agree totally that from what she is telling us that her "boyfriend" is not treating her with the proper respect however repeat however she is not demanding that he treat her with respect either.

So I might be wrong but the root problem seems to be in my opinion that she is not demanding from him the proper treatment and if he then does not do so kicking him to the curve.

He's her ex, not her boyfriend.

The relationship is past tense, not current.

In another time a woman might say " the guys would tend too get a little to insistent, so I would beat them over the head with a fry pan, but they were easy enough to handle".

Doesn't work anymore, because we claim to not believe in violence, in spite of what you will see at the movies this summer.

@BillRM,
Yes, she did say what she wanted..and he didn't respect it.

wouldnt let me pull my hand away..

she resisted and he wouldn't let her resist, he knew he was making her do what she didn't want to do. That is not respecting her wishes.

There was this one time I said I didnt want to do

Here she did say that she didn't want to....did he respect that? No.

...I once told him not to touch me but he wouldmt stop touching me

And again she told him her desire, and he paid no attention to her request and did what he wanted to anyway. That is not a relationship, it is not making love, it is abusive sex. So in answer to her question...."was I sexually abused?" the answer is yes, she was.

She needs to accept that, and get help if she feels she needs it, and move on.

Any sexual action between couples that is not mutual is abuse of one to the other partner.

An what mixed messages is she sending to him by keeping dating the guy?

I agree once more that she should grow a damn backbones and either leave the relationship or demand that he respect her wishes.

Oh my god, of course sweetheart!! If what you say is true, then absolutly! He had noo right "making", you do ANYTHING you weren't comfortable with, especially if you conveyed a distaste for whatever act it was. I wish I was there to BEAT.... "some sence into him... with words of course" Wink
Well, maybe right after, or at the begining. Point being, you're not a tool, nor his property. He has noo right, steer clear of him!

@BillRM,
In her first post she calls him her "ex" or did you not see that?
