Propositioned by his Friend

I'm madly in love with my boyfriend, and he is the same.

But two and a half months ago, I was drunk (VERY drunk) and at his friend's house. We both trusted his friend. When we were alone, we started to dance to Prince, because this guy was a big fan. He took off his own shirt, and then mine. He wasn't touching me, and I trusted him to be good to his friend and respect me. But I still didn't feel like dancing any more.

I took off the rest of my clothes without thinking I was in danger, because I want to be naked, and I want to be appreciated. He did the same and we sat at other end of his couch, and we talked for a while. I felt like it was okay, though my original thought was uncomfortable when my shirt came off, and I knew I had to get dressed for the sake of my boyfriend. He feels differently about being nude.

When I went to put my clothes back on this man grabbed me by the ankle and pulled it up to look at me between my legs. When I tried to put my foot back down he pushed it back up. He began talking about how beautiful I was. He started to touch himself. He couldn't get hard. Too drunk. Asked me to touch him. I said no. He asked again. I said no, again. I love my boyfriend. I didn't want to touch this man, I didn't want this to be happening. I didn't know what to do. He told me that it wouldn't be the first time he slept with his friend's girlfriend. I scolded him, and that was enough for him to let go.

I was able to pull away from him and grab my clothes. He put on his own, and I sat at the far side of the room, unsure what to do. He lives on a bad side of town, I couldn't leave without him, but we were both really drunk.

I fell asleep on his couch, and he went to his bed.

I told my boyfriend what happened two days ago, omitting him grabbing my ankle, and I said I'd taken off my own shirt. He broke up with me immediately. He took me back the yesterday, but I had to tell him the whole truth. When I did, he became very upset and couldn't understand why I hadn't told him all at once. He thinks that there will be more 'details'. He asked me very specifically for the whole story when I first told him, but I couldn't bring myself to tell him everything.

Now he needs time to think. He's so angry that I lied to him. I'm so upset that I did. But this is the man that I want to share old crinkly years with. He feels betrayed, and he's known to walk away from problems. I'm giving up drinking. I understand why he feels the way he does about nudity; he feels its sacred between two people in a relationship. My trust in others is low, even if they have his trust. What if I lose the love of my life over this? How can I deal with him not talking to me now? And what if he takes me back but can't bring himself to trust me and leaves?

I know that I lied to him, but I didn't want to be anywhere near his friend. I love him, and I was never interested in his friend. Even if I was the situation was disgusting and I wouldn't have done anything. I was taken advantage of. My boyfriend feels he was as well. I hate that he got hurt. I don't know what to do.

Apple, I'm going to skip all the comments about you getting naked with another guy and lying to your boyfriend and etc. and get down to what I believe to be the heart of the matter and that is you have a drinking problem. As I understand it you would not have even been in this situation without alcohol; "I was drunk (VERY drunk) and at his friend's house." If I was your boyfriend I might understand your actions and forgive and forget, but I know I'd be worried about what you'd do the next time you drank.

My advice, continue trying to reassure your boyfriend that nothing more happened than you've told him and hope for the best. Then tell him you have a plan for getting help for your alcohol problem and follow through with it. I don't know your age but drinking and getting naked with any guy other than your romantic interest is a very bad idea and you can't let that happen again.

The other respondents haven't addressed the real issue - this so called "friend" is an absolute rat, I would have threatened him with some kind of harassment or attempted assault charge, it was hardly 'propositioning'! This 'friend' is the real problem, yes you shouldn't have withheld the truth for as long as you did but he is the real baddie in this, not you. He should be crawling and begging for forgiveness from you AND your boyfriend because he betrayed his friend's trust. 

There is an overwhelming attitude that women often deserve assaults because they're drunk or are wearing revealing clothing. We should be able to crawl drunk down the centre of town stark naked and not fear a sexual assault but it doesn't work like that and attitudes need to change. Having been sexually assaulted myself, I have very little patience for excuses for men not being able to control themselves. 

You and boy boyfriend need to unite against this 'friend', his behaviour might seem low level now but it needs to be nipped in the bud because next time, a girl might not be able to defend herself as well as you did.

If you think things can't get worse it's probably only because you lack sufficient imagination.

Oh please... give me a break!  The friend is NOT the problem... you are the problem!  You wanted to get naked and feel appreciated.  You stated so yourself.  Simple as that.  You also state that you felt you could trust this friend...and that you thought he would respect you.  At what point after you "allowed" him to begin removing your clothing did you still think that?  And what in the world makes you think some guy is going to show you respect when you show none  for yourself?  You were sitting on the couch with this guy, naked, and you can't understand why he might want more.... Sell it to someone else because I am not buying it.    Frankly, you're lucky the guy DID drink too much or you might be here telling us about a rape.  I don't know your age but my advice is to grow up and realize that your behavior, drunk or sober, can put you in a postion to get hurt.

It sounds to me like you are an attention seeker.  Be careful because you may receive some attention you don't want. 

Totalchunk states that you and your bf should take a united stand against the friend.  I disagree.  As far as your boyfriend goes, my opinion is he should distance himself from you and his friend.  With friends like the two of you, he certainly doesn't need any ememies.

You tell us you are "madly in love" with your boyfriend.  I call bs on that too.  If you loved him, you wouldn't behave that way. 

Totalchunk, who posted above me appears to feel that as women, we should be able to behave in any manner we want to, and yet the male species should respect us regardless.  That will work well in fantasy land, but out here in the real world....it isn't gonna fly.  I don't feel that someone wearing something revealing deserves to be assualted but I don't agree that females can get drunk and not be held accountable for their behavior yet somehow we want a different standard for our male counterparts.

 

I find sexual assualts to be a major issue, however, I stand firm that as women, we do not need to put ourselves in a postion that compromises our safety.  You need to get a little smarter before you get out here in the real world.  As I have stated in the past, the wolf is always at the door.

Good luck to you....
