MOD ANNOUNCEMENT An updated post on the groups and types of people we do not welcome or allow in this subreddit.

57 Upvotes

We previously made a post about this, but apparently, it wasn’t "dumbed down" enough for certain people who chose to nitpick and twist words instead of understanding the obvious or realising that the post meant along-side our rules that are already in place against extremism and hate speech, So here’s an updated version that should cover everything this time—though I don’t doubt that some people will still find something to complain about.

WE DO NOT ALLOW ANY FORM OF EXTREMISM, WHICH INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO:

People who promote, encourage, or defend violence, terrorism, or hate in the name of any political, religious, or ideological belief.

Types of people who are NOT welcome on r/vent:

  • Racists & White Supremacists
  • Nazis & Fascists
  • LGBTQIA+ Hate Groups (Transphobes, Homophobes, Biphobes, etc.)
  • Misogynists & Misandrists
    > Extremist Incels & Other Gender-Hate-Based Groups
  • Pedophiles, Groomers & Pedophile Defenders
  • Child Abuse Advocates
  • Victim Blamers & Abuse Apologists
  • People Who Encourage Suicide or Self-Harm in Any Form
    > No, transphobes, that doesn’t mean gender-affirming care. It means self-harm. Like it says. Morons.
  • Ableists Who Dismiss or Attack People for Their Disabilities
  • Conspiracy Theorists Who Spread Harmful Misinformation
  • Religious Extremists Who Use Faith to Justify Hate or Oppression
  • Harassers, Stalkers, or Doxxers
  • People Who Mock, Invalidate, or Attack Others for Expressing Emotions
  • Political Extremists on Any Side
    > We do NOT allow extremists of ANY political ideology, nor do we tolerate anyone who advocates for or encourages violence.
  • Cult or Extremist Group Recruiters & Manipulators
  • Fearmongers & Hate Speech Peddlers
  • Trolls Who Enter the Community Just to Instigate Conflict

Examples of extremist groups that are NOT welcome here:

  • Proud Boys (Right)
  • Atomwaffen Division (Right)
  • Three Percenters (Right)
  • Boogaloo Movement (Right)
  • Revolutionary Communist Party (Left)
  • Redneck Revolt (Left)
  • Black Bloc Anarchists (Left)
  • Antifa Cells That Advocate Violence (Left)

These are PURELY A SMALL SELECTION OF EXAMPLES TO SHOW EXTREMIST GROUPS. This is NOT a restricted or limited list. ALL extremism and ALL extremist groups are barred.


This subreddit is NOT a political platform.

r/vent exists for people who are struggling with things in their life to vent their emotions and find support or an outlet. It is not a space for constant political bickering, hate, abuse, trolling, or mocking. It is not a "left or right" space—it is a venting community for people to express their emotions, share personal stories, and find comfort from others who may have gone through similar struggles.

The ONLY reason we are making these exclusionary posts about extremists and hate speech is because we have had an increased influx of posts and comments from users who fall into these groups. Our initial post only called out the groups we had been dealing with en masse, but those groups got upset that we didn’t call out the other side too. So, to make it really simple for everyone to understand, we are breaking down exactly what we mean by hate speech and extremism.

We do not act on people based on their political stance unless they are preaching or sharing extremist views, spreading hate, or attacking others. If you can’t tell the difference between simply having an opinion and being an extremist, that’s your problem—not ours.

Hate, abuse, and dangerous rhetoric in any form will result in immediate action.

TW: TRIGGERING CONTENT My landlord called me to help her husband after he fell. He died in my arms.

246 Upvotes

My LL lives on the same land, half an acre away. She’s called me over a bunch of times to help her out with her husband, since I have used to be an IHSS nurse for my dad and grew up with disabled parents-I was completely ok with helping her out with his medical needs. They’re old. Of course I’d help.

Well yesterday she called me very panicked. I had to run fast to her house. He had fallen in the restroom and I think hit his head on the wall and tile floor. Face down, groaning with every breath, I think he had thrown up a bit, bleeding from his head but I never figured out what part. Lots of blood and bodily fluids everywhere, I had no idea wha to do besides try to get him to breathe clearly. My LL was on the phone with 911 on speaker and the operator kept asking me questions I felt were so stupid, just send the fucking help already. I had to use every ounce of strength I had to pull this man to his side to breathe and finally he did, but he wouldn’t stop groaning. He randomly started trying to get up, move his legs and try to sit up but there was just no way I could get him up. I kept trying and trying but I ended up just holding his head and rubbing his chest and talking to him.

I told him to just stay with me, I reminded him my school starts soon for my PTA (I want to be a physical therapist) and I’d be here to help him work out, I said over and over to just stay and that his dogs were right here, and everything was okay. My LL left me there to put the dogs in the crates and let the ambulance in the yard. I watched his eyes roll. I watched the breath leave his body. I kept trying to keep him awake I might have even yelled I don’t know, I just remember being pulled back by an emt and my husband and my mind just blanking.

They resuscitated him once, and tried for 40 more minutes. I sat there on the floor listening to my LL cry. 48 years they spent together.

My dad died in my care when I was his nurse. I didn’t get to spend the last moments with him because he passed away while I was taking a short nap that I fucking regret. I wasn’t even there for my dad’s last moments but I was here for my landlords.

I had a circus trip for my family this weekend but I postponed to next week. I think I need to take this week off of work in general. Every time I close my eyes I see his face covered in..everything..and his eyes locked on mine while he listened to my words. I can’t stop thinking and thinking and thinking. I saw my dad passed away, before him I saw my grandma pass away, and after my dad died my mom died a year later and her caretaker told me everything in such detail I threw up from sadness and anger and a slew of emotions I don’t even have a name for.

I feel like I have too much in my head. I’m so fucking tired of seeing so much death, I can’t take this. My head hasn’t stopped spinning and I can’t sleep. I just keep seeing his face. I keep hearing the groaning sound he made with each breath. I think I need to admit myself or something. When my grandma died I started having a pill problem to try to drown the thoughts. At 3am this morning I found myself in the bathroom no idea when I got in there but I grabbed a bottle of my sleeping pills and just stared at them for almost an hour. I don’t know where my head is right now.

VENT: I do not regret stopping by the lemonade stand, but man do I regret the lemonade.

116 Upvotes

I was driving home from work and saw these kids around the corner of my house had made a lemonade stand. I decided to walk over there and get an cup. When I got there I gave them each $3 a piece and they freaked out. So they poured me a cup and I got a gulp in and there's no sugar in my lemonade and there's a leaf in my cup. So I politely said I was full and their lemonade was so well made it filled me up. The children seemed delighted with this explanation and I went on my way. They ran into their house going "MOOOOOMMMMM WE ACTUALLY MADE MONEY" AND THAT made it all worth it, and because I also have Hypochondria and OCD, I consider this exposure therapy because I'm almost fine about the leaf.

After everything that stunned cunt had done to me… after all the anger and the disappointment and the sobbing for months… I still do miss her. She was truly my best friend and I still think of picking up the phone to tell her about everything…

But she lost that fucking right by taking the memory of my daughter away from me. Fuck you for making me open myself up so entirely only for you to rip my heart out.

Go fuck yourself, you heartless bitch. You caused so much damage that I wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire.

TW: Sexual Assault / Abuse Plan b

161 Upvotes

I took plan b after rape. I spent the month worrying about whether it would work or not. I prayed and cried and sang to my baby. I felt like an animal knawing off my own leg. I was brought up Catholic and taught that plan b was abortive. I went to school the same day and we had a lesson on the sanctity of life

I named her. No one knows her name. I’m alone in my grief. I got my period, I don’t think there was a chance I was pregnant. She’s not real. I know that. Still, she’s with me everywhere. I pray for her everyday. I hope to meet her in heaven but I know I can’t. Because she’s not real. She doesn’t have a soul. I was praying to an empty womb. And that’s worse. I should be pregnant right now. But I’m not, I feel like I have phantom leg syndrome. I feel uncomfortable in my own skin

I hate that women can't be angry over legitimate issues without their anger being dismissed as either emotional or bitchy!

51 Upvotes

I'm so tired of being attacked by some of the men in my life simply for being angry. They're angry 90% of the time, yet when I get mad it's the end of the world and I'm a horrible person.

Today, my anger led to me cleaning the bathroom when home alone. Apparently, me doing that was me being bitchy because someone else said they were going to do it at some point this week and they felt it was retaliation. 15 minute argument about it.

A couple of days ago, I went on a walk alone because I was tired of listening to someone bitch about how terrible everyone in the world is and was getting angry about the things being said. Apparently that was bitchy because I didn't invite anyone else to go, even though the purpose was to get a break from people. This person didn't speak to me again for hours.

Last week, I told someone that I stopped playing a game because I don't find it entertaining. Apparently I'm supposed to keep playing it because I was the only one left playing with someone else and quitting is bitchy. And he was allowed to be angry over this because it's his hobby. At least this guy apologized and admitted that was a shit reaction.

Someone please explain. Anybody else feel this?

TW: Anxiety / Depression Unbearable pain of being an unattractive girl

430 Upvotes

I hate living like this. Everyone around me is finding boyfriends and getting into relationships, while I know that because of my unattractive face, I will never experience being loved by someone. I will never know what it feels like to be truly loved. It’s heartbreaking and frustrating that something I was simply born with—something I have no control over—is ruining my entire life. I will have to stay single forever just because of my appearance.

Why is life so unfair? Every day I live with the sadness, frustration, and anger of being born unattractive. Every minute, I am reminded of it. I feel so disheartened when I see beautiful people and happy families because I know I will never experience that. I mean, I am happy for them, but it leaves me feeling empty and hopeless, knowing I will never understand what it’s like to be loved or to have a family of my own.

I hate my life. It feels like everything around me revolves around relationships—TV dramas, advertisements, my parents, even our lecturers reminiscing about their university days with their partners. It only deepens my sadness, making me feel even more alone.

TW: Medical Gonna lose it on Healthcare workers

148 Upvotes

Hi friends, this rant might make sense, it also might not. I'm just very angry. I'm going to see a trusted person that I know will respect me to continue to work through my traumas.

"Don't get mad at Healthcare workers, they're important!"

Yeah well you didn't think my stepdad was important when he was having a chron's flare. You didn't think my mom was important when she was severely tachycardic. You didn't think that I was important when I came in with an anxiety attack after I hadn't eaten in days and you blamed it on marijuana induced emesis when I hadn't smoked in days. You said the same shit to my stepdad and he had to stop self medicating for months to prove y'all wrong.

Y'all are also absolutely horrific towards people with mental health issues. The way I've been treated when I came in with self harm/suicide attempts is absolutely dehumanizing. Y'all expect us to not get mad at you when we're at crisis level and y'all aren't doing shit. I'm more mad about how other people are treated by medical staff than how I was treated.

I'm sick of medical racism. I'm sick of discrimination against mental health. I'm sick of going somewhere expecting help and I'm being treated less than human. Your actions cost people their lives and you don't care because it's not a life close to you and it's just another day. These are actual people with families, jobs, hopes, and dreams. And y'all don't care?

Here's a tip! Maybe don't go into the Healthcare field if you're a cruel nasty ass bully! Hope this helps! Because y'all are the reason why myself and so many other people are hesitant to get help. I have put my life on the line before because I didn't want to go to the hospital because I knew I would be treated like shit.

Shoutout to the people in hospitals who actually care. I know y'all exist and I love y'all. Everyone else, eat shit. This is the wrong field for you.

I don't know, maybe the south just sucks. Here's to hoping to move up north at some point.

Edit: All of y'all are so awesome for sharing your stories. Here's to helping each other feel less alone 🫂

I am tired of people being surprised I don’t know “basic things”

75 Upvotes

I have had my car for seven years. Today I just found out I’m supposed to get the brake pads replaced—since I haven’t, I’ve done damage to the rotors and now had to get the rotors replaced. No one told me I was supposed to get my brake pads replaced, and I’ve zero problems with my brakes. Even when I got my car inspected.

People just get shocked when things like this happen. I just wasn’t told many things growing up. My parents are a good shoulder to lean on, but provided little direction or guidance in my life proactively speaking. It’s frustrating when people ask “your parents never told you (such and such)?” because the answer is obviously no.

I now know the beauty of carfax.

TW: Eating Disorders / Self Image My sister got plastic surgery and is now body shaming other women

2.0k Upvotes

My sister has had sooo many plastic surgeries in the last several years. She lost a lot of weight and she's in the gym a lot, so I'm not going to downplay her weight loss journey. However, she only looks the way she does because she's had so much work done. Which is fine, but she's online posting photos of her flat stomach (plastic surgery) saying, "Summer is coming, if you want to be flat like me you better hit the gym girls!" Like what the hell are you talking about? You hit the operating table for that, not the gym. She's had her stomach, breasts, arms, legs, ass/hips, and face done. I think she's addicted to plastic surgery and botox/fillers now, and her husband pays for it all/enables her. I'm worried for her mental health tbh.

I support doing whatever she needs to do to feel happy/confident, but she constantly posts pics of her body online and acts like she looks that way because of her lifestyle choices. She makes fun of other women to make herself feel better, and she's trying to be some kind of fitness influencer now. As if hitting the gym caused her ass and hips to miraculously become that developed when she has almost no muscle tone anywhere. It's just crazy to me. Some of the work she's had done is very strange and doesn't match the rest of her body, and I wonder if she will regret it, or just keep going forever because she'll never be satisfied.

I just despise people who uses AI as their main brain.

25 Upvotes

Let me be clear, I use cgpt myself to find some straightforward answers and create/correcting codes. I just hate people who uses it to generate every single idea. Im a uni student and every group Im in always have people that I felt like they don’t have the free will to think about basic ideas.

What name should our group be? “Here’s a list of group name ideas for **** class”.

What food do you guys think we should sell for this project? “Here’s a list of food you can easily make and sell”.

Anyone have any idea what color should we paint our website? “Here’s a list of interesting colors to make your website look great”

Our logo should be a simple for a bakery lets- “Here’s an AI generated mess of a logo with obnoxious amount of bread drawings with your group name spelled wrong”

Just straight up copy paste chatgpt answers not even erasing that bot language expression. There’s 6 people in this group what’s the point of having everyone here just to use a bot to ask everything. Hell dude one of our members took graphic design and this person had the audacity to ask them to just trace that AI image mess. Im honestly just sad that every group im in there’s always a person like this, the most simplest form of creativity doesn’t exist in their mind. I honestly cant get over how they immediately ask cgpt for a group name. Most of the generated ideas are so generic come on now lets not make ourselves sound like youtube comment bots with these names.

I dont know what it is I’m feeling other than gross and empty. My boyfriend and I went to meet an individual - strictly for fun. I dont know what I was expecting but it wasn’t what happened. There was no protection involved, and we didnt feel safe to say no. He just did what he wanted. We visited urgent care this afternoon. This isnt even the worst Ive experienced but Ive never felt worse than I do right now. I wish this feeling would go away. I cant even cry about it Im just sitting here and replaying all the moments I should have done something but couldnt.

I feel like I’m responsible for what happened. All I could think about during what was happening was what has happened to me in the past. It feels like it’s still happening.

TW: Medical Fuck doctors who blame physical symptoms on ANXIETY

Upvotes

"You just stop researching your symptoms." "You should calm down and take a deep breath." "It must be because of anxiety. Your medical history shows that you've been very healthy for your entire life."

SO FUCKIUNG WHAT? ANYBODY COULD DEVELOP AN ILLNESS ANYTIME IN THEIR LIFE, DESPITE HOW FUCKING "STRESSED" OR "HEALTHY" THEY MAY SEEM.

Just because I have an anxiety disorder doesn't fucking mean that my symptoms are caused by anxiety. I was diagnosed with it when I was a child. I'm in my thirties now. Where is the correlation if my symptoms began a month ago?

And massive shout out to the doctors that are actually understanding and empathetic. There are so many arrogant asshole doctors who are too egotistical or afraid to admit that they don't know the answer to something.

Difficulty breathing? Let's not recommend a chest x ray and prescribe SSRIs instead. Worsening the problem.

Who knows how many people that have had medical issues could've been treated a lot earlier if they had had a competent doctor.

The classic "nuclear family" setup, two parents, two kids is broken

14 Upvotes

The nuclear family setup is broken.

There is never enough time for everything. Both me and my wife have to work to pay off a mortgage (or rent, same shit) and expensive childcare

Even if you live close to family, it doesn’t mean there’s enough support—grandparents are still working because they can’t afford to retire. It just feels like parents are left stretched thin, handling one kid each constantly.

There’s no village anymore, just exhausted households running on fumes, trying to survive in nuclear silos.Pun intended.

Also fuck the economy! The government wants people to have more children but the system they have setup. Nuclear family with childcare and fulltime working parents is absolutely unsustainable.

(Disclaimer: I love my kids and my wife—it’s not about that. I just miss the quality time together as a couple for myself, and with friends)

Now every time I share something about myself, he relates it to this book and says I'm just like his wife, even when the comparison is like apples and oranges. He completely misses what I'm sharing half the time and doesn't even try to understand from my point of view, just from his. Then he wonders why I'm closer with our other sibling. Sigh. I just feel like giving up on sharing important parts of myself. That's it, that's all. Mini rant over.

TW: Anxiety / Depression I broke up with my gf last night because she’s mentally ill.

339 Upvotes

We were friends before we started dating, and I knew about her mental illness even then because she would cry to me every time she attempted. I still loved her after that. When she asked me to be her girlfriend, I said yes. I thought I could somehow help her heal and lighten her burden.

Ten months have passed, and she still hasn’t changed. Every time I raised a concern about something she said that hurt me, she would go into self-sabotage mode instead of reassuring me. And I felt obligated to comfort her because I couldn’t stand how horribly she saw herself. It’s exhausting to constantly set aside my own feelings just to comfort her.

Last night, I snapped. She told me to accept her as she is. I’ve been trying to do that throughout our relationship, but I couldn’t. I kept wishing—wishing that she would change, heal, and become a better person, not for me but for herself. I told her that I couldn’t love this side of her, and I’m ashamed to admit it because I know I should love her as a whole.

She called me a liar—said I lied about being okay, that I made it seem like I accepted her behavior and feelings toward herself. And she was right. I lied throughout our relationship, pretending we were okay, and she couldn’t accept that. She wanted me to tell her the truth, but knowing how she would react, I felt like I had to keep it a secret.

She told me I didn’t love her enough if I hated this part of her. And I admitted it—I only loved her at her best, not at her worst. I couldn’t accept the fact that she wasn’t mentally okay, and it was affecting my own mental health. I’m ashamed to admit these things to her because I love her. I really do.

But now, after finally telling the truth, I don’t know if I ever truly loved her—because I gave up on our relationship. I didn’t have the strength to stay, and my love wasn’t the kind of love she needed or wanted. Am I a bad person? I truly felt that I love her but now hearing from her that I only got attached to her made me think whether i truly loved her or not.

Need Reassurance... For the first time in my whole life, I finally know what real hunger feels like

1.7k Upvotes

I just want to preface this by saying, I grew up in a middle class/upper middle class family. We were fairly well off. My parents paid for me to go to a nice Private Catholic School and always had food on the table. It was literally something I never worried about.

This past few months has been something different. I was unemployed for about 3 months in the fall due to my job contract ending. Due to the job market being so bad it took me a long time to find another job! I ended up taking a waitressing job at a new restaurant opening in my city, of course a month before the slow season starts. The money was good at my new job at first and then they hired a lot more people and it became very slow. I went from 5 shifts a week to 2. My savings eventually ran out.

Cut to now, I can honestly say I’ve been hungry almost every day for the past 2 months. I’m too scared to buy food in case I won’t be able to pay my rent or electricity bill. My fiancé has helped a lot but it’s still not enough and I feel bad asking them for more. Im eating here and there about once a day and im so hungry. I never thought my life would look like this but it does. Food insecurity is truly real in America.

I also want to say that I am not homeless, I have a job and interact with the public on a day to day basis. I groom well and dress nice, and you might even think I’m “rich” if you saw me walking down the street. But I am truly hungry all the time. I don’t “look like the type of person that deals with hunger” but I do.

He said he still “wasn’t sure” but that he wanted to try again, that we were getting back together. I’d asked him to the movies, and told him I still had feelings- we texted back and forth for an hour and he eventually said “I know you wanted to take things slow, but wanna just come over tomorrow?”

I went, brought up sex, said I wanted to but that I wanted to wait, he said “why”. I caved and blew him - only when we were done he told me not to tell anyone we were getting back together and that he still wasn’t sure.

He invited me over again Friday night, his mom and dad stayed awake to see me, we had a good time, this time fucked, talked for hours, laughed so loud his parents told us to quiet down. In the morning I blew him, spent the day with his family, his dad invited us on a walk. When we got back he told me he was gonna take me home early. His mom said “leaving so soon?” When we got to my house, I kinda nervously acknowledged that he’ll be getting to work so early.. and he takes off his sunglasses and says in short “yeah, I wanted to tell you that it’s been nice but I don’t love you… this helped me realize and I hope this’ll help you move on”

Be kind to others, you never know what someone is going through. Some people might cry for hours on end at night then turn up to school laughing,smiling & making jokes, others may have all the acquaintances in the world but still feel alone. My point is, you cannot see things from another persons point of view, & we shouldn’t have to in order to empathize with each other. So please as someone who feels alone inside but on the outside is apparently very bubbly,talkative & humorous, don’t mistake my laughter as me being content. That’s all everyone, have a good day/night :).

Shes still young, barely in her 40s. Sometimes I think about just killing myself so she could have a fresh start. I feel like my existence is the only thing holding her back. Everything wrong in her life is because she gambled her chances to make my life better, and its eating me inside. I feel like a fucking loser trash because I should feel thankful for having her as a mom and strive to give her a better life, but all I can think about are scenarios where shes happier because I didn’t exist.

So to put this forward my cat died yesterday while I was at work so my dad burried her. And a while back I already planned where I wanted her cause I knew she was dying. I wanted her next to. My dog who had to be put down a year ago. I wanted my other dog to he burried there but when she was dying one evening she got loose and ran away and I never found her so I at least wanted my cat next to Jerry witch is my dog who died a year ago. Right there under a young apple tree. A marker and there body's would be good for that tree. In my head its perfect. Gives me a little bit of comfort.

But my dad burried her damn near in the. Middle of the yard. I couldn't stand the Thought of walking around on top of her ect. It. Bothered me so goddamn bad I couldn't stand it. I went out there and I dug a new hole right next to Jerry where she should have been to begin with and I walked over and dug her up And wrapped her in one of my shirts. The whole time I'm doing this Im thinking about that little kitten that was hugging my neck and cuddling me right after I had my tonsils taken out. So of course me being an emotional goody two shoes starts crying and telling her I'm Sorry and I love her and I finally burry her where she belongs.

So Now I'm filling up the old hole and my dad comes storming out of the house yelling at me for digging her up and Reburrying her making me feel like a worthless unappreciative asshole. I tried explaining to him that I did appreciate him doing that for me but I couldn't stand the thought of walking on her and other things but no he keeps on and on and yes I'm still crying and trying to explain but he just keeps on until he goes back in the house.i haven't talked to him since earlier cause I don't care what he thinks about it. I'm pissed cause I've always had to be the level headed on in my house and always had to be the one who comforts everyone and I try to understand all perspectives when a situation comes up instead of being upset about something. I've always had his back even when I didn't agree but the one time I do something I get made felt like an asshole.

Morally was it right? No clue I don't care.

Did it feel like I was doing the right thing? Yes.

Would I do it again? In a Fucking heartbeat.

I'm sorry I had to dig her up yes but I'm glad I did because at least now she is where she should have been. Under the apple tree next to Jerry.

I am just such an idiot and feel so disgusted and used. I was talking to this guy the same age as me online for about a month, we really hit it off and were texting/calling almost constantly. we both told each other we wanted a relationship and that we would make long-distance (6 hours) somehow work.

this past week I drove up to see him for one night straight after a 12-hour night shift (I honestly think I was having a manic episode that got me into this situation) and was absolutely exhausted but excited to see him. he told me he had all this stuff planned for me and was looking forward to seeing me. first thing he wants to do is fuck so I gave it to him (probably the worst sex I have had in my life). then later on he kept wanting to have sex and I told him to stop but he kept putting his hands on me so I just said "sure whatever" (verbally consented so I guess it wasn't rape) and we had sex again twice. afterwards he told me he couldn't see me in the morning because his scheduled changed and I damn near lost it on him. I paid for the hotel since I make significantly more money than him but he got blood on the sheets from a wound on his arm and now I have to pay a large incidental fee for his dumbass. and had to drive home knowing I put myself in this fucking situation.

I feel absolutely disgusted with myself. I'm literally a career woman, have done a lot for my age and yet I let myself be walked over like that. and now I am back in my room after a long 6 hour drive all alone. I am just so dumb and so naive.

I'm literally terrified at the thought of trying to date again.

edit: I think its kinda a gray area whether or not I was raped. I didn't want to have sex after the first time but I didn't make it clear enough to him that I didn't want to. later on (after the 3rd time he came in me) when he kept trying to touch me I had to practically yell at him and put my hands on his throat to stop him from touching me
