He betrayed you, emotionally and physically. Kudos to you breaking your silence.

This story is so similar to what happened to a friend of mine, that I had to double-check to make sure she hadn’t written it. It’s crushing what something like this does to our natural instinct for trust. I’m so sorry for what happened, and so glad you were able to tell your story. How could someone who called himself a friend hurt you this way?

I understand what you mean about wanting to wait for marriage and having it taken from you. How do you get that back??

I hope he hangs his head in shame every single time he thinks of you.

Alcohol should never be an excuse for anything. Not for commiting these horrendous acts on people nor for having them done to you.

Your rights remain in tact regardless.

Thank you for sharing!

Big hugs for you, honey. Big, big hugs. I have been there.

Unfortunately, so many of us think that because we love this person, it can be okay.

Its not okay.

And I’m glad that you have gotten peace from that.

How awful and sad that your best friend let you down, hurt you and left you to deal with his betrayal. Hopefully the telling of this will let you be free.

My best friend’s fifteen year old daughter was just date raped. The amounts of emotions and lightning speeds of which they keep changing is absolutely suffocating me. She doesn’t live near me, several states away, so I’m limited as to what I can do in the way of support. Not to mention, I don’t even know what to do. Fortunately my friend is holding herself together and doing everything she possibly can to help her daugther through this.

I haven’t been able to visit this site as much as I’d like, so I was sitting here this morning reading through the posts when I found yours. I’m going to forward this to my friend because I think, at some point, her daughter will get something from it. The hardest thing, we hear about date rape all the time, but never really think about it. They were so sure they could trust him when they sent their little girl out the door with him with specific plans on where they were going and what they were doing.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I think it will help her to realize that there was nothing she could have done, nothing she should have seen, etc. There doesn’t have to be warnings or signs, there was no way for her to know. She’s so sweet and young… always so innocent. She needs to see that others have made it through this thing, and she can, too. Thank you for being strong enough to show that.

I wonder how many of us have had to be told by a sister, friend, roommate, etc. that it was, indeed, RAPE by our “friend.” Thank you for sharing your story. Mine also involves someone I trusted and thought was my friend. He had been set up for me as my fraternity “big brother” when I was a pledge in a sorority. Does that make the rape incest? Maybe he somehow knew that I was already an incest survivor (though I never told him with words).

It’s interesting that we never saw these “friends” again. They know what they did was wrong. They know they are rapists. That’s why they disappeared.

*sigh* I am so very, very sorry. I wish there was something I could say to make it better. I’m glad you spoke out about it, sought help and shared your story here. You’re a strong, strong woman!
