no = no

y’all I found such a good guy. we were talking about an article of how statutory,,, is based off of mental abuse instead of physical. and I mentioned how I thought that I was so deeply in love with my ex and how much he hurt me mentally after we broke up because I realized that he manipulated me so much to put out for him. he was a crazed teenager and I didn’t want it as much as him. so he would constantly ask and guilt trip me to giving in even when he knew I didn’t want it. and this is the response my soon-to-be-boyfriend (and best friend of 4 years!) responded.

sometimes I forget that when I say no, it means no. because it’s MY body. nobody else’s. and i’m glad I have my best friend to bring me back down to earth.
