anon even if you were dating unless it was consensual, there is no justification for what the man did and if your friends know and are still friends with the man who did it then i fear they arent really your friends, your ex manipulated you as far as i can see
yea
having to beg someone for their consent should not be considered consentual
anon, me personally, ive been a similar situation as you have before and trust me when i say that it took me a long time to realize that things like this? it is sa. begging someone for consent, making you feel like you have no choice, doing things just to satisfy your partner, making you do things that they know you are uncomfortable with. its all sa. every bit of it. im sorry you had to go through this anon. unfortunately this is the world we live in. but what i can say is that your "friends" who are still friends with your ex even though they know what happened are not truly your friends. i recommend talking about it with your friends and help them gain perspective. if they dont understand, then let them go. you deserve better anyways. and no anon, this is not normal amonst teenagers. i thought it was as well. i thought all men are equally as fucked up until i met men who are actual gentlemen and would never even dream of doing such things to a woman. you are NOT overthinking or overreacting anon. it does not count if you said yes only cause he begged. do not invalidate your feelings anon. ive always felt like i was just imagining things just to be able to blame someone for the pain i went through as well, but it took me a long time to realize that whatever happened did happen, and i cant invalidate my own feelings for that. people like your ex dont deserve to be given any benefit of the doubt anon. i hope things get better for you, much love.
