But to be fair to the guys, we need to let them know when it isn't ok. If you follow through with a kiss without pushing back or saying no--they are left with the idea it is ok.
Maybe you feel guilty/shame for what happened? By framing it as assault, you put all of the responsibility on the other person.
I hope you can work through it! Confusing past abuse with current events won't help you.

That's just ********. Only in a predators mind is a women sitting in the fetal position in the corner of a bathroom crying fair game for sexual activity. He was wrong and was taking advantage of someone who was vulnerable and wounded. And it was an assault, there is no way he could have believed that was consensual or an okay time to begin fondling someone. Regardless of what happened prior in the day, in that moment he assaulted her.
Talk about it to your T, good luck!
