When my boyfriend crossed the line
During the fall semester of my sophomore year I became very close with a boy. I didn’t know if I liked him or if I liked the fact that he was a senior and being with him made me feel good about myself. But by finals week we were officially together, and I was beyond excited.
One night after a basketball game he wanted to hang out, but my gut was telling me to go straight home. I disregarded my intuition and said that it would be fun to hang out one last time before Christmas break.
But it wasn’t fun. He began asking me to do things I didn’t feel comfortable with. He was touching me in places I didn’t want to be touched, and even though I tried to push his hands away, they kept roaming. He even went so far as to physically put my hands in places on his body that I wasn’t comfortable with.
