Oh my God. You are so right.
I am constantly doubting myself, and putting myself down saying that I shouldn't be so self-centered, and get over this,and that i brought it on myself and that it is much worse for lots of people, and that I'm making it a bigger deal than it is, and on and on.
Thank you, I need to remember this.
It is a complete truth, and I need to throw the rest out the window.

Good post - amd a very reassuring one too.  Guess we are all a little paranoid - at least I know I am - I actaully got banned from one place cos I complained about someone who said that they "found it difficult to belive that I hadn't said anything".  Couldn't go through something like that again so I wanted to check before I started to talk about stuff. Anyway - glad to have found this place - Kiera

I wanted to boost and add something for a friend-of-a-friend...

If you are still with the guy, you deserve to be here.

If it started out consensual, and you said no afterwards, you deserve to be here.

And, it's not your fault.
