I've been hiding... Here's my story.

Be glad that you are rid of him already. Don't contact him again when he gets out, it will not help you "heal", or get over him.

IMO you shouldn't invest so much emotion in a man you have been dating only one week, and have known for only a month. Telling a man that you love him is something huge and you shouldn't rush into in.

Don't class yourself as ugly and worthless (which is what I am reading between the lines). If you think you are nothing, people will treat you accordingly.

Get in the shower, go do something fun, and move on. Life is too short to waste your time crying over any man, let alone ********s.

That's the thing about master manipulators, they have this ability to make us turn on ourselves. You've said such negative things about yourself but not much about him other than that he's a psychopath. Look at it this way: rather than feeling duped and punishing yourself for it, consider that you were saved from a tragedy. Either your life w/this guy would've been hell or he may have done something worse to you. Sexual assault is SERIOUS. The fact that he's still manipulating the system and trying to manipulate you means that the problem lies with HIM, not you. Dry your tears, take hold of your thinking and be grateful that you're young and able to go on w/nothing more serious that happened to you except a bruised heart. Bruised, not broken. As for trust, be more discriminating next time. It's all for your protection. You're OK. Now please keep it that way and don't take calls from him and don't contact him either. He's history, a brutal reminder of what could have happened but didn't. You have been saved, lucky girl.

I know it's really easy for anyone not in your situation to say all kinds of things that we think would make you feel better. But I'm not going to do that. I'm just going to tell you that we are here for you. Any time you need to talk, vent or cry we will listen and not judge you (or at least I won't and I know most PTers won't).
I do believe we learn from our mistakes. Those mistakes usually hurt like hell, but you can learn from them.
You WILL get through this. I know it may not seem like it right now, but you will.
