Tw: sexual violence

I was sexually assaulted by a former coworker in July, I’ve been in therapy and filed a police report and been trying to do the best I can to heal from it. But intimacy with my husband has been tough for me since I was assaulted.

My husband is the most patient, kind man I’ve ever met and has given me every bit of space and support I’ve needed to work on getting myself sexually back to the way I was before the assault. We’ve slowly been working on me getting comfortable with intimacy again at my own pace. For the first time since I was raped, tonight we finally had sex where I really, truly felt like my headspace is back to where it was before, it was mind blowing. I’m elated to be able to have this experience again. I was getting depressed and frustrated and worried that I wouldn’t get to this point and we’d end up with a dead bedroom. I’m so glad I have him and that we were able to do the work to have an experience like this again!!
