I went out a few months ago and got chatting to a married man. I didn't think anything of it because he was married and I enjoyed hearing about his family, I told him about a few tragic things which had happened with mine, the conversation was really 'normal' (or at least, the normal I'm used to, I mean that I have some good male friends and this all seemed within normal chatting range).
There wasn't any flirting. I wasn't sexually attracted to him. There were no compliments. At a late hour I decided to go home, he followed me. I had started to switch off at that point so I wasn't really paying him any attention. He was starting to snap at my heels a bit (following) but I was drunk and tired and it didn't really register.
I think if anything, I might have thought he was just trying to walk me home but I didn't think that at the time. I was just trying to go home and tired. When I got home, only a few metres away, he followed me into my house and I didn't move far away from the front door because I was confused about why he had barged into my house. He circulated the house and then came back to where I was standing at the entrance and pushed me onto the floor which is where the assault happened.
I didn't report this at first because I had horrendous guilt about him being married. I didn't scream, I felt really stupid. But how does this appear? Am I an utter Bambi fool? I feel so stupid. I feel so much guilt about his wife and why I didn't scream. I honestly wasn't expecting it though. Am I being an idiot?
