| Okay, first things first. I know your relationship is the biggest thing on your mind at the moment, but you've been through a traumatic experience and need to take care of yourself. I know you said that you don't remember much of that evening, but can you remember whether or not the person who forced himself on you used a condom? If you don't know, or can't be sure, then you need to make arrangements to be tested for STD's. If you are not on birth control you should get tested for pregnancy as well.
Have you talked to anyone close to you (besides your boyfriend) about what happened? I would advise talking to a trusted friend or family member. What you went through was awful and you shouldn't have to be dealing with this alone. check your phone book for a women's health clinic in your area; they will be able to help you find someone to talk to if you don't have anyone close you want to confide in.
You are probably not going to want to hear this, but if your boyfriend doesn't believe that you're telling him the truth, then he doesn't trust you, and without trust a relationship is meaningless. If he doesn't believe you when you tell the truth now, do you think he will ever believe anything you tell him after this? Do you want to spend the rest of your life trying to make it up to him for something that wasn't your fault in the first place? If it is your word against the person who took advantage of you, and he doesn't believe you, and instead believes the other person, then what does that say about what he thinks about you?
If you insist on staying with this person, I would suggest that he also find someone that he trusts to talk about the situation with until he can either put it behind him or decide that he has to move on.
I hope this is helpful. |
