How do you tell a partner about sexual assault?
The guy I’ve been dating has been away on a trip for a week so I haven’t been able to see him since.
A few days ago I went out with someone who I thought was a friend that I’ve known for 5 years. I didn’t drink much but somehow ended up almost blackout drunk. I kept falling over and I don’t remember some parts of that night. He took me to his place, all I remember was feeling paralyzed and I woke up with my clothes off. I can’t say for certain that he raped me but I definitely feel distraught about what happened or could have happened. I got dressed, stumbled my way out of his house and got an Uber home.
The guy I’m dating is coming back home tomorrow. We are typically sexually active but I don’t know if I want to be sexually active right now. Should I tell him about what happened? I think I want to tell him but how do I go about it? How do I bring it up? What do I say? I haven’t told anyone about that night.
