She would have said no, she was fine.

That’s one of the insidious things about these relationships. You don’t know till years after, that you weren’t okay. You don’t see the manipulation and coercion till you’ve gotten more life and live experience.

These relationships are the equivalent to taking a freshly licensed pilot who has flown nothing but Cessna’s and asking them to fly and land a 747 after asking them if they know how to fly. Of course they’re going to say yes and they have the license to prove it. Doesn’t mean they’re ready for 747 or a Concord.
