People compliment me on my compassion, then are shocked at how bitchy I can beat those closest to me.

profitinaon October 24, 2009

People always find it ironic how compassionate I can be towards others when I'mcapable of being a total bitch to those closest to me

This makes me sad. not only because they ARE sad, but because I never really gotto know my father, and will never have the chance to. RIP!

There is no such thing as consentual statutory rape, as a person under the age ofconsent is legally unable to give consent. Oftentimes these underage folks grow upto realize that what they "consented" to was something that was ultimately traumaticto t

Rape is rape and assault is assault, regardless of the relationship between theperpetrator and the victim. If you live in an area that doesn't recognize this then youneed to stand up and take action to change the laws. My husband assaulted mebecause

Secret number 2: I can't even imagine!! Just know, it wasn't your fault and hedoesn't deserve you. I hope you left him..

@ the second one; I'm sorry. Not only for what happened to you, but for the peoplein the comments who are saying it 'shouldn't' affect you as much.

JaneKulasHaineson September 9, 2009

Some men are evil and feel no wrong, unless it is done to them. I am so so sorry

RE: tinyteen1992: Rape is rape, plain and simple. Take it from a victim. Any type ofrape is traumatizing.

I agree with this statement: "While it's despicable, i'm glad she identifies it as rapeand doesn't pass it off as 'we're married, so it's okay'. admitting it is the first steptowards recovery."

Corp_Cleanon August 9, 2009

the 2nd one.. no, you're not alone. and he's a worthless bastard who should'veknown better.

k__stockon August 5, 2009

nobody should comment negatively on anybody's secret - or life. one day it could beyour own. people who send these in are clearly suffering, the last thing they need ismore hate. i support you

cristalcamisadoon July 30, 2009

I love how the second one is so simple but powerful. Sometimes you don't needstories and explanations; four words can be more than enough. I hope she seeksthe help she needs.

I live and work fairly close to knoxville, good thing I don't steal fridge food from theoffice. Cleaning a kitchen is always more fun with wine, music, and a good friend.

casielouon July 11, 2009

and the sad part is... that stuff is legal because they cant prove it wasn'tconsensual... which is a crock of bullshit

sometimes, i think being raped, would be better than having to tell my best friend islept with her brother, it kills me everyday knowing i'm hiding it from her. 12 years offriendship, i risked it for nothing. i try to forget it everyday..

jessicahoustonon June 20, 2009

i cried when i saw the second one. I'm so sorry.

#2.. I'm right there with you. The last time I ever had sex with my husband is whenhe raped me. I left him just days later. And now I'm in the process of divorce. Bestrong. I'm sorry.

as a woman to steal his reproductive rights and his home. I am a forgiving person,but I'm afraid that I will never be able to forgive her. This is the secret and the hatredthat I've held in for the past five years. I hope sharing will help me move o


After consenting to sex, my fiance's ex-girlfriend claimed that he raped her. Shethreatened to report him unless he signed his house over to her and got avasectomy. He did both because he was so afraid of what would happen to him.She used her position

well. that second one just broke my heart.

tohru_hondaon June 2, 2009

although i don't know the whole situation i do wish you the best and hope thateverything turns out for the better.


having been in a similar relationship i know what it's like. i know what it feels like totell you that because it was someone you were already intimate with it wasn't rape.but it doesn't change anything. because no means no. no matter what.


i agree with a number of you. sex is not what should hold a relationship together.although to an extent it is something that is important in a relationship it is not thesole being of a marriage. having been in a similar relationship i know what it's
