I joined this group for a different reason but now I am afraid I have another reason. Well, I am still unsure whether to call it rape or whatever. Basically I got drunk with my best friend and we ended up having sex. I didn't want it. But he pinned me so suddenly that I was to shocked to do anything about it. When I have talked to him about it he refers to being in "the heat of the moment" and I am afraid the thinks that I wanted it. I have told him, and felt that I was very clear, that I'm married, and there is no doubt in my mind that Eric is the one I want to be with forever. I can't live with out him and love him with all my heart. I definately feel like I was taken advantage of. Thats no question in my mind but I am hesitant to take it to the extreme of rape when he had no idea that I didn't want to. I am not necessarily known for my clear headedness while drunk and on top of that it had been almost a year since I had drank at all. I tried to leave a couple times but he prevented me. In between the episodes of that night I would cry, panic, and even tried to cut myself. So I don't see why he would think that it would be okay with me but I never came out and said it directly. He was my best friend and I trusted him. I was drunk and really didn't know what to think of whatever it was that was going on. After a certain point my brain just kind of shuts off and refuses to function properly, if being drunk would qualify as functioning properly in the first place. However, I don't feel blameless in all of this especially if he didn't know I didn't want it (despite the many conversations of the sort that always ended in- " i would never do anything to hurt Eric or jeopardized our future") But if he really didn't have any idea can I really feel like a victim at all? What if I even gave off signs that I was into him? I certainly didn't mean to. We have always been better as friends and I valued his friendship more than to do something like this to destroy it. None the less I am here now and have been left with no idea what to think about it all. I have finally gotten to the point where I can atleast recognize some of the ways I feel about what happened and verbalize specifically what happened but I don't know what to think or how to cope with it. It would be easier if everyone would just hate me for what happened but I wonder if I am trying rationalize what happened and make it his fault so I can deal with myself better. When it started I had actually gotten up to leave but he didn't want me to so he threw my keys behind him on the bed and thats when he got on top of me. I wish he had let me leave. I tried later on and he kept me from leaving even then but I think he was more worried about me going and doing something drastic to myself. But it would have been so much better if he had let me leave.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
If at any point a woman or man changes their mind and chooses not to go any further it is rape.
You friend took advantage of the fact you were drunk and maybe he thought you wouldn't remember or whatever, but yes what he did to you was infact rape!!
We are here if you want to talk more! I am sorry he did this to you and I know it probably hurts more because he was someone that you loved but in a different way than making love to him.
Please do not let this destroy you though. Get the help you need to get past this. You said you love Eric and that is who your heart belongs to. Well, then get the help you need to heal your heart and soul so you can go on loving Eric and have a wonderful life with him!!
With love!
I believe this rises to the level of "rape". But even if it doesn't, a person who merely "takes advantage" of another person in such a circumstance is certainly no friend. A true friend, realizing that your judgment may be impaired, would protect you from that rather than taking advantage of it.
Everything will turn out okay in the end. It always does. *HUGS*
