My Boyfriend Was Forced into Sexual Favors with a Man - - What Do I Do?
Out of fear of me finding out in another way, my boyfriend just informed me that for the last six years, every now and again, he would give oral sex, (or receive it while watching straight porn), for money to a rich gay man.
I've dated my boyfriend for almost a year, and live with him, and just found this all out. My boyfriend finally opened up to me once he realized this man was going to contact me. I guess my boyfriend had, for the most part, disappeared from this man since he and I met.
From what I'm told they met up once in the beginning of our relationship, and then it stopped. About a month ago this man started calling my boyfriend non-stop and threatening him if he didn't start seeing him again.
They met up last week... My boyfriend pretended he was going to do the "job" he used to do for this man before meeting me, but instead took the man's money, and ran away.
He said he didn't intend on doing anything with him. He just wanted to take his money, so the guy would learn to stop harassing him, and my boyfriend needed the money. We had both lost our jobs last month, and although getting back on our feet, we are still a little behind.
I never thought of my boyfriend as gay, and although he's obviously sick, I still don't think he's gay. Just psychologically damaged.
I've stumbled upon his porn history on the computer, (of women by themselves), and he seems very attracted to women that pass by... Not that I like that, but hey, he looks. Apparently this whole thing started with this guy when my boyfriend had just turned 18 years old and was broke and living on his own.
This mN had come into my boyfriend's restaurant he worked at thE time and had given him an amazing tip, and left his business card, informing my boyfriend that he had a great job opportunity for him. This guy actually knew my boyfriend's friend at the time, so my boyfriend felt comfortable meeting up with this guy to find out about the job.
Turns out the job was for him to give him oral sex for pay. Sometimes even gifts, new furniture, etc. My boyfriend has had a troubled past with his alcoholic mother who had abandoned him at a young age, so he has a past of pain and damage and feelings of neglect and worthlessness, (so there's already low self worth), and since he was broke, he figured he would do it just that one time, block it out of his memory, and take the money.
It turned into a regular thing for the next six years. Whenever this man wanted my boyfriend to come over, he would threaten him with harm to my boyfriend's family if he didn't come over to do it again, or would tell all of his friends and family that he was gay if he didn't do it.
So, my boyfriend, feeling all of this guilt and shame would comply, and be rewarded with money. Either do it to this guy or having the guy do it to him while he was zoned out on pills and watching straight porn to be able to go through with it.
This guy knew my boyfriend wasn't into it, but obviously took advantage. Now this man continues with his threats, and even has lawyers and private detectives helping him to make it look as though my boyfriend has stolen from him, and is threatening that if my boyfriend doesn't continue to do this job for him every once in awhile, that his life will be ruined with the damage that this man can and "will" do using the law (he's successful and has some profession with lawyers).
This man has threatened that he will harm my boyfriends family, as well as me, and my boyfriends reputation. This man has already harassed us by having the cops show up with false claims that my boyfriend was trying to commit suicide, as well as has called my boyfriend's father and friends telling them that my boyfriend is gay, (he obtained the phone numbers from my boyfriends call log, because one of the gifts he once gave my boyfriend was a phone, which allowed him to look at call logs online).
How do we settle this and get away from this guy? He is wealthy, and has investigators gathering information on his behalf. He knows my car, my name, where my boyfriend lives. How do we move on as a couple? How do I heal? How does he heal? How should I take all of this?
My boyfriend is full of guilt, shame, and feels like he wants to die sometimes because of the humiliation and possible future humiliation.
Please help. This man is powerful, and we are poor.
