I spoke to him on the phone. He still doesn't get it. He said he was sorry but I had to actually say 'can you please reassure me that you don't actually think some of the blame lies with me' to get him to say it to me. He took refuge in counsellor psychobabble and kept saying there was great therapeutic benefit in continuing our sessions. FFS. He also said he would never know what it was like to be a woman being raped but that most women wouldn't either. I just went numb at that point. He just doesn't get it.

It's time to end this relationship. I don't know what bubble he lives in, but many if not most women I know have at some point been threatened with sexual assault even if it hasn't escalated beyond threats. He needs to find a new line of work if he's going to hold on to the thought that what he said to you is remotely ok. This just disgusts me so much because he may never really get it, but it's his job to understand as much as possible without experiencing it.
