Today, I was grabbed and romantically kissed at the crowded carnival. Unfortunately, it was not by my husband but instead it was a complete stranger, in front of my husband and children. Now, my husband will not talk or believe that I didn't know the man, and my children think I'm a cheater. FML

Great support when you've been indecently assaulted. Tell your husband to grow a pair and stop victim blaming.

What the hell is going on with all the people just kissing, proposing and other stuff to people they don't even know? Is this some new, dumb social "challenge" phenomenon, or are people just being especially jackassish this month?

it all depends on if you pushed away or kissed back now.

You were basically assaulted and your family chose not to believe you. How insulting! Did you act super shocked after it happened? If this somehow happens again (and we hope not!), slap him when he's done kissing you and ask him trivial questions about yourself to let your husband and kids know that you two really don't know each other, at the sane time really hoping the stranger knows nothing about you. O.O

I would argue she should start resisting way before the kiss is over, she might not escape but definitely put a struggle from the get go.

People can freeze up in such situations, the fact people are telling op she should have "fought more" shows some of the issue in how we treat sexual assault and such..

do you really think that he was standing there and kissing op during an hour or so? i'm sure it took like seconds so op wouldn't have time to react

If you filed a police report - then your life sucks. If you didn't, then you deserve your husbands ire. I can understand why your husband would think the way he did, if you didn't take the matter to the police.

so if for some reason I don't report sexual assault that gives my SO leeway to assume I'm having an affair? that logic is ****** up

that is ****** up when you take it to the extreme but for this case and I really mean THIS case there is some valid point not filing a report case with witness reports at your disposal is just dumb so there should be some reasoning of why not or she could just be dumb and didn't think of it but why?

Maybe because to file a report you need either a name or the ability to point out your attacker, which considering it sounds like the guy kissed OP without her consent and then ran meaning she probably didn't get a good look, means OP probably had neither. Which, since those are extremely logical and simple reasons for why OP didn't file a report, would make you the "dumb" one.

Did you even try to stop the guy?

Gonna say again: assault victims have a high chance to freeze. The average person doesn't walk around primed to attack people, even in self defense, because they don't expect to be attacked.

Did you freeze? Did you do nothing afterwards? If you did, i can see why both your husband and kids think badly. This isn't about your husband being insensitive. If a girl came up and romantically kissed me and i didn't do something to stop it or show it wasn't wanted then I wouldn't be surprised if my girlfriend was mad at me as well. Just trying to look at all sides of the situation.

I'm sure the look on OP's face was that of surprise, confusion, disgust. Surely her husband could have seen that and realized it was not a kiss OP approved of. shame on him for blaming and assuming the worst.

Yes you planned to be kissed at a random time by someone you know at a carnival

Well you have to understand your family, it really sounds horrible, give them some time and then talk to them.

...OP was attacked, and her family are the ones entitled to hurt feelings, after essentially saying that not only was it not an attack, but that the attack was her fault? That isn't how it works. OP's husband was a complete jackass for not only blaming OP for the event, but priming their kids to blame her for the event. It was "horrible" for him? Maybe he should have done the NORMAL thing and realize that if it was "horrible" for him, it was probably worse for OP, and he should do the proper thing and ask if SHE is okay. He doesn't have any justification or reason that would make him anywhere near being in the right in this event, and saying that OP should consider his view point is just ridiculous.
