Sexual Assault Confused An Maybe Even In Denial

Hi
I apologize in advance for my story being so long.
I am very confused and I may even be in denial. The other night I went out with this guy that I barely knew. We talked about our kids and common interests and our plans for the future, where we wanted to be in 5 years type of thing. Well, he was very charming, handsome, sweet, and gentlemanly. So, as the night continued, I let my guard down and suggested we go back to my place, since it was closer, and watch a movie and talk some more. And I emphasized that I did not want anything to happen. I told him we needed to know one another much better before we took anything further. He agreed and we proceeded to go back to my place. We talked and had a movie on, but we were talking more so than watching the movie. I thought we were having a very in depth conversation when all of the sudden he jumped on top of me and started kissing me. I was shocked and pushed him off and told him, I told you that nothing was going to happen. He again said he was okay with that, he just wanted a kiss. So we started talking again and he did this again. Only this time he grabbed me by my wrists pinned them to the couch and began to choke me as he was kissing and biting me. I told him no and to please stop. He got up and I thought it was over, then before I could get up he pinned me again only this time he pinned me with my body weight. He tried putting his hand down my pants and I struggled enough to get one hand free and grabbed his hand to push him away, but he was considerably stronger and I barely got him to stop. I told him again to please stop and I didn't want to do this. He let me up again and once again, before I could get up he pinned me again. He flipped me around and pinned my hands to my chest while he tried to perform oral sex on me from behind. I managed to get one hand free again and pushed his head away from me. As he sat up he grabbed my wrist and pinned me again. He began choking me again saying, you like this don't you baby, don't you? I tried to talk, to tell him no, please stop, but he had me pinned so hard and had his hands around my throat and I was unable to speak. He began unbuttoning his pants and I kept thinking, please don't let this happen. He put his fingers inside me and began kissing and biting me on my neck and face again. I told him no once again and to please stop that he couldn't do this to me. Then he covered my mouth and penetrated me with his penis vaginally. He kept thrusting and telling me how good I felt and he ejaculated very quickly. It was almost like the more I fought and struggled, the more turned on he was. Once he had finished, he continued to stay on top of me as if he were going to try and do it when he became aroused again. I have bruises on my chest and neck. My pelvis is extremely sore and I am having uterine discomfort. I know I have to get checked out, but I am terrified.

The reason I am confused is because I feel like maybe I sent signals to him that I didn't realize I had and he thought it was okay. He text me the next morning and I got nauseous. He asked if I was okay and if he could see me again. I politely told him, at this time I don't think that is a good idea. (I wanted to be nice because he now knows where I live and I didn't want to upset him.) He replied and said, I am so sorry, I shouldn't have been so aggressive. I didn't know what to say. I just told him I wasn't expecting anything to happen and it caught me off guard. And that I didn't want to do it. He said obviously, I'm not ready and I need to work on what the f**k is wrong with me. I told him I would pray for him and he said Thank you.

I am so scared to go to the police or emergency room because I don't want them to judge me for making such a poor decision. I know it was extremely ignorant of me to invite someone I barely knew back to my house. I don't want them to say, well, you're the idiot that invited him over and let him come in. And did I let him do this or make him think this was okay? I am so confused and I don't want to call it what I think it is. It just makes me sick to my stomach to think about it.

Thank you in advance for any advice
 
Oh wow. I can't believe that! Ok, first of all, hell no it's not your fault! Not even close. You did nothing wrong. You had no idea what was going to happen.
I am so so sorry you had to go through this. Its horrible! Its makes me sick that someone can do this to another person. And then he has the nerve to text you? He is the one with the problems. Because in his mind, he did nothing wrong. But he did!
You need to go get checked. They will not judge you. You are innocent. You got attacked by a monster :(
 
Thank you. That was my thinking is maybe he didn't think he did anything wrong because he text me, or maybe he thought that's what I wanted. I can't seem to stop myself from replaying it over and over trying to figure out why this happened. I appreciate the advice
 
I'm so sorry for what you expierienced. None of it is your fault! Even if he saw signals, that led him to believe you wanted to kiss him or anything else he did you told him to stop several times and made it perfectly clear that he did not have your consent. Even the absence of 'no' does not mean 'yes' so it is absolutly not your fault and you haven't done anything wrong!

I really hope you find the strength to get checked out and get help. Maybe a sexual assault crisis center near you can be of any help.
 
It happened because there are terrible people in the world. Please don't blame yourself. It doesn't matter if you were totally naked beside him. If you said no, then that gives him no right to touch you. You made it clear you didn't want to do anything. You are the victim :(
 
Please do not blame yourself, you did absolutely nothing wrong. This guy is a rapist, no doubt about it. He should be the one feeling bad, not you. Please know that. He took advantage of you being kind and he preyed on you; he raped you. It's good that you have been able to share this, I think you need to process it more and maybe tell your therapist, if you have one. If not, please find a support group. It's very common for victims of rape to blame themselves or try to downplay the incident, but in the long run that is never healthy and it will catch up with you. The more you are able to open up about it now, the better.
 
It is NOT your fault! He had NO right to do that to you. You told him to stop. You told him BEFORE you did not want to do that.

You did not ask for this, you did not do anything wrong.
 
If you are not feeling able to get help now, consider writing some diary notes and taking photos of the marks you have so that if in the future you are ready to (want to) report it, you have some evidence.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. None of it was your fault.
 
This was rape. you made it clear before going to your place that nothing would happen, but he forced myself on you; even though you kept saying no and stop. You need to report this animal and have him arrested.
