So I was with an abusive guy for 4 years. It happened gradually, it wasn't an over night he hit me one day kind of thing. It went from name calling, terrifying me on purpose, embarrassment-for his own pleasure I presume, pushing, shoving, to hitting, dragging me by my hair, spitting, holding me down, kicking in my doors. All these things grew over time the lines blurred and I couldn't even tell, but by the time I knew it, I was in an abusive relationship and had no voice because of the ridicule.

I guess thinking about that time period in my life is very hazy. This one incident I have never really talked about. I woke up and he was having sex with me. I never thought anything of it until recently when I was at a group therapy session at the Y. One of the therapist said something and it made me think of that. What does that even mean exactly? Like having sex with someone who is asleep....

Also, after that relationship ended I am pretty sure this guy I was hanging out with did something to me while I was asleep. I got blacked out drunk and he did not drink we were just hanging out listening to music and joking around. I don't remember falling asleep or anything at all, but I woke up in my bedroom alone. I woke up feeling like something happened, but wasn't entirely sure. I asked him and of course he said no.

It is all just hazy and I don't know what to make of it or how I feel about it.

I didn't give consent to my ex at all, I woke up during the middle of it (which is just sick and no wonder I have sleep issues-I was molested in my sleep as a child and woke up to it) and was just shocked and didn't say anything. It was never mentioned and I never talked to him about it. I guess I was just in disbelief and shock. I mean that isn't okay is it? We were intimate before that night and we were intimate after that night, but that night I was asleep.

The last I checked in my state both parties have to been drinking when they had sex in order for it not to be rape, and you have to give clear consent, and of course some other things but I forget exactly what they are and if they have changed. I was too shocked like out of my body shock to say anything. So I am not sure.

I was blacked out drunk the other night which is just scary in and of itself and alone with a guy I only knew from school. Would someone really do that in that situation?

It's all just hazy and blurry. I am not sure if I even want to post this because I don't want to be triggered by opinions.

Also, that same guy from the blacked out drunk night, my cousin had a similiar experience to that. And, we were using my laptop and taking photos that night and i guess the video camera rolled. I hear my bedroom door shut in the video and then he goes into my room after that and then it is just silent in the video until it shut off. I still have the old lap top but don't really want to look at that right now.
 
Ashdawn,

Us thinking you are right or wrong isn't the point. What matters is do you feel it was wrong to happen? Do you feel it was rape and violating?

All goes down to you. At the end of the day it is your memory and something you have to live with.

Have you talked with anybody about it?

With my ex it made me feel bad, uncomfortable, shock, memories of my past traumas-scared. It wasn't a good feeling and I couldn't process what was happening when it was happening.

No, I have never mentioned this before to a therapist or anyone else. I wanted to get it out on here first because I generally feel safe discussing stuff on here.

The blacked out drunk night I really think I was drugged but again I am not sure my feelings are very confusing but no I was not looking to have sex with him or anyone at that time in my life.

It's all so confusing.

The same happened to me on more than one occasion where I woke up and my ex was having sex with me. It felt wrong to me. Ayesha is right though, it is a matter of what you think about what happened to you.
 
Thanks for sharing. I guess what confused me was we were together and the group therapy discussion the other day cut me deep. When they discussed rape.

Piratelady if you dont mind me asking, it's okay if you don't want to answer I'll understand, but what do you think of your situations-like waking up during? It isn't right. Only asking because you have been through that and I don't mean to trigger. :(

I text my cousin and asked her if she thought he raped her, because she had an experience just like that with the guy I was with when drunk and after it happened to me (she didn't know about this until now) and she said she doesn't know because she didn't remember it either. I remember her telling me about it after it happened but I just didn't say anything because I honestly can't remember.
