Woman Gaslit Me Into Thinking I Took the Condom Off—Threatened My Life
When I confronted her about it she started screaming and crying, said that I was the one who took the condom off and if I thought anything different had happened that I was "crazy" and needed to get "serious help with my memory." Then proceeded to tell me I should k*_ll myself because she was the only one who would put up with my "weirdness." Then she threatened to break all my things if I left, and once tried to crash the car repeatedly by yanking on the steering wheel. Men can be s*_xu*lly assaulted, gaslit, held captive, and fear for their life as a result of the abuse too in a heteronormative relationship. That is all.
