A milestone in healing and relationship: Choosing a new bed with caring special  partner, when I started with sports bag against the door, in case he came to the door: unable to be touched. I still don’t want to have any sex.  Five years after rape . We have intimacy and closeness and a future to look foward to. We have time . Today we shared our birthday dinner: I paid for his he paid for mine – in our favourite riverside cafe – lovely vegan food .  I am glad I didn’t give up. Now we are moving the bed into bedroom and aiming to have the music studio where I have slept for 4.5 years since the attack –  for creating new music and art .
