Question Posted Saturday September 9 2006, 5:58 am
My sexually abusive boyfriend ripped me while trying to fist me. I told him it wouldn't fit, he doesn't listen to me protest. He did say he was sorry and that he didn't intentionally mean to hurt me. It ripped a good 2 inches long, between my labia and my clitoris. It was bleeding like crazy last night, and this morning when I went to the bathroom it is still bleeding. Should I seek medical attention? how will I explain something like this without telling them my boyfriend is sexually abusive?
Vikki27 answered Saturday September 9 2006, 1:56 pm: Firstly, yes you do need to seek medical attention and quickly. Other than the problems you are experiencing with bleeding, you are at risk of infection as long as the wound is open so you need to see someone as quickly as possible about this.
Secondly, and most importantly, you NEED to do something about this relationship you are in. Why are you still with a guy you know to be sexually abusive? Remaining in a relationship of this nature will only serve to do you harm in the long run and you need to ask yourself whether you want the pain you are experiencing now to be so common?
I understand that everyone has their own reasons for staying with an abusive partner but I PROMISE you that if you stay with him, things will only get worse. Please talk to someone about what is happening and get away from him. You deserve better, you should have better and you CAN have better, so get away from him, please, and find it.
