I told my exes fiancée that her husband raped me

r/

I posted on another subreddit but this is eating me alive because this is still fresh and my close friend is berating me on my decision.

I was sexually assaulted years ago but my emotions are all over the place after rereading old messages. Today I found text messages from my abuser on an old phone that I thought I had lost. I didn’t know how much I had blacked out of my memory until I read them this afternoon and my entire body feels like it’s on fire with the amount of rage I feel. I have years of messages of my abuser texting me a few times each year (the last text in 2023) asking me to console him because of the guilt he felt for assaulting me. This is sick to admit but I had sent him bible scriptures, encouraging quotes, wrote paragraphs about how I forgave him to alleviate the guilt he felt.

I searched his name on google after finding these text and I found out his wedding is soon, this summer to be exact.

I spoke to a friend and she said to only DM his girlfriend, soon to be wife if my intentions were pure. Impulsively I sent her a long DM asking her to reconsider who she was going to marry. I included the screenshots to show her the text of him apologizing for hurting me physically, he never admitted to raping me but to ripping off my nail which was because I was trying so hard to keep him from ripping my clothes off during the assault that he caused a lot of physical damage.

She responded and I’m unsure if I did the right thing. I think instead of telling her because I was looking out for another woman I may have told her because of how angry I am at him for doing that to me.

    You’re allowed to be angry.

    At least now she knows whats shes getting in to before getting married, and not after.

    That doesn’t make you a bad person. At all you’re allowed to be angry . He has hurt you in the worst way possible

    Religion taught you to forgive your abuser. You should never EVER forgive him. You should tell his soon to be wife the person she is with is a racist for sure. Even if it was out of anger that’s a real emotion. The Bible and religion was created by abusers to teach women to be even more abused.
