Toxic Relationships •

How would you react if your partner did this? I truly can’t believe I’m actually putting this into words.
I’m not sure if I’m overreacting, but I (29F) just had an upsetting experience with my partner (31M). We were playfully fighting—nothing too intense or mean—but then he reacted to my request for him to clean up after himself by shoving his hand in his boxers, swiping it across his private areas, and then rubbing it all over my face, near my mouth and nose. I feel incredibly dirty and just want to rip my skin off. I genuinely feel like I’m going to be sick. I’m a bit of a germaphobe, and having things touch my face is a huge trigger for me. I feel deeply disrespected and really upset. He has been doing things like this a lot more frequently, and while he insists it’s all in good fun, it’s making me feel really uncomfortable and confused.
