I wanted to wait until marriage as my family is Lutheran and religious. My boyfriend of 6 months raped me when I was passed out sleeping. It tore me apart as I thought I was not worth anything anymore. I am almost 46 years old now, and it happened when I was 16 years old. Trust is hard even though I am married now. I wish that someone had told me about consent and that it is my body and my choice, but I had to realize that myself. I say this to hopefully prevent bad things from happening to other people.
