When Love Hurts—Sexual Abuse in Intimate Relationships
Sexual abuse doesn’t always come from strangers. In fact, many survivors experience it in relationships that once felt safe. When a partner, spouse, or dating companion violates your consent, it creates a painful blend of betrayal, fear, and confusion.

The Hidden Crisis of Partner-Based Abuse
Sexual abuse in relationships often goes unreported. Victims may worry they won’t be believed or fear retaliation from someone they live with. Emotional manipulation, financial dependency, or shared children can all make escape feel impossible.
But abuse is never part of a loving relationship. Consent must be mutual, always. When it’s violated, it’s a crime—and you have rights.
Understanding the Impact
Sexual abuse by a partner leaves lasting damage. Survivors often suffer from PTSD, depression, and loss of trust—not just in their abuser, but in themselves and others. It can destroy a sense of safety in one’s own home and body.
Legal action can provide validation, compensation, and—perhaps most critically—protection.
