(1,975 posts)In my teen years there were 3 or 4 situations when I could have taken advantage of a girl that was blitzed. Never once did it enter my mind, as a matter of fact I felt it was my duty to make sure nothing happened to them.
The guys I hung out with always gave me shit for not getting some. This confirmed to me that I was right in standing guard throughout the night.
Unfortunately my wife was not so lucky. She hadnt even been drinking when it happened to her. She was asleep in her room when she woke up to one of her brothers friends on top of her who was hammered. Her brother came in when he heard her screaming for help. He didn't get in there in time as he had to break the door down.
This is not something that goes away. She still has issues and will probably until the day she dies. It's affected our relations on ocassion, but we work through them. It wasn't her fault then, and the issues she still has isn't her fault now.
Hopefully I don't get the ban hammer for saying this but if I ever catch somebody in the act, it will not end well for that person. They won't have the opportunity to regret being born.
