I said no like five times to my husbands best friend but I didn’t stop him
My husband and I were camping at the lake with his best friend and others. We all were drinking and my husband and I went to bed and I had forgotten my phone by the lake. I begged my husband to please go get my phone and he told me no and I told him I didn't want to be the one to go get it because I was scared his friend would try something with me and he told me to knock that off and just go get it so I did and his friend tried to play with me and I told him no like five times but he just kept trying. I did not fight him off and he did it to me. I went back into the trailer and told my husband and he approached him but his friend said nothing happened that I was acting weird. This is not the first time I've had to fight this guy off and I have told my husband but he blocked it out. I can't believe I had no guts to say stop! I have mixed emotions because at first it felt good but my mind hated it. I feel totally empty inside now like a part of my soul is gone. Please help?

This ‘friend’ is a predator. You are not safe with him. Equally, your husband’s refusal to acknowledge the criminal behaviour of his friend also puts you at risk. Please reach out to Rape Crisis for support. Because this is not your fault. And, you have done nothing wrong.
