Met someone new after a very long marriage of (removed by Moderator) abuse (not physical). Early days he bruised the inside of my (body part removed by Moderator) by sucking – I took photos, went mad and left him. He gave me space and sent messages apologising saying he didn’t realise. I thought I may be over sensitive after previous relationship. (timeframe removed by Moderator) had sex with him, quite a few times. He was frustrated I couldn’t get properly into it, but I was trying and we were consensual. The (timeframe removed by Moderator) time he put his hand around my neck and growled (like a frustrated growl) and squeezed quite tightly and I was shocked I cried out and he (detail removed by Moderator) then finished what he needed to do. I was scratching at his (body part removed by Moderator) and bit his (body part removed by Moderator). Afterwards he cuddled up and asked if I was okay because I was quite hard to read. Is this normal. How can I approach him about it? I think if I do, he will be apologetic. I feel like I’ve got a sore throat from it – is that normal – like I have to keep swallowing.
