Tonight was another first, but in a new way. Everything was going great, we were relaxing and unwinding after work and dinner. We were messing around and something triggered him yo aggressive pull my hair, not in a sexual way. It was forceful and ill-natured. He apologized instantly and let go, but didnt quite understand. I instantly shut down, I submitted and hid. He knows ive been abused before but he's never seen the real damage it did mentally. Well, until tonight, that was his first. He quickly pulled me into a reassuring cuddle and apologized repeatedly while telling me itd be okay. At that point I was crying and shaking violently. None of my abusers have ever apologized to me before. That was my first. I never knew that decent people would realize their mistakes so fast or that they would apologize and admit to them. He's such a great guy. I love him.
