I was at uni with one of my housemates who I considered a good friend at the time and one day out of nowhere he playfully wacked me on the bum with a tea towel but then continuously would do it with his foot. At first I didn’t know what to make of it and confronted it with him and he said it wasn’t’ deep and just not to mention it to my boyfriend. When I did tell by my boyfriend he made me realise it was assault it was sexual assault. Then on nights out he’d get drunk and actually smack my bum and once tried to kiss me and a friend (on a seperate occasion). Whenever I tried to bring it up he said he didn’t remember it and because he was ‘normal’ most of the time I found it so hard to deal with and my friends couldn’t understand how I could differentiate between it or deal with it as we were friends.
