Age difference is 8 years so quite large and happened when I was 11 or in 6th grade. Escalated from showing each other a couple times and then asking her to lick it and put it in her mouth then ended. It wasn't physically forced but as an older person it was manipulative and controlling either way on my part. It happened up to 6 times with the mouth part as the end. So obviously it is alot more intense than your story and I wish that I was in your spot honestly.
I knew it was wrong and I was curious and I didn't stop myself. I remember the feeling of thinking this will bite me back later and I should stop but I didn't resist the urge those times. I had the regular hallmarks of being abused by someone, easy access to porn and and raging hormones and sexual urges at the time. Still, it was my responsibility and I didn't stop myself. I thought the first few times or showing each other weren't too bad at the time, but I knew I crossed the line when I asked her to touch it. Over the summer I agreed to my gf to see a therapist but then I discovered the rules about reporting and had to admit to her that the best I could do was talk about my own impulsivity as a kid, inability to control anger, my own abuse. All of those things were things I thought would help me get as close to a therapeutic session with a professional without giving my past away directly. I thought I got somewhere after that and felt relieved for the first time in a while.
My ex can't get into the mind of someone like me and can't imagine what would go through anyone's head to do something like that and I can completely understand. I remember being busted for playing around with my same age cousin when I was in kindergarten which was odd but consensual on both sides. We took a two week break over the summer and she attended group therapy b/c she didn't have health insurance and she said she wanted to be w/ me again. During the summer I was complete wreck and was rebuilding myself from the ground up.
Recently we had a fight over something small and her once estranged dad contacted her last week and told her he bought a gun recently and he has a history of being suicidal. The combination of everything put her into depression and she said she couldn't understand why someone 8 years older would do something like that and feels like I'm hiding something by not going to therapy. I couldn't even combat that point with her. I had told her everything I did, everything on my mind, taken responsibility, apologized to the appropriate parties, seen a therapist and haven't done anything in 13 years. That's the best I can do short of turning myself in to the police. She's supposed to be seeing a therapist individually and discussing it with them but I have no idea if it's happening. She said she still wanted to be w/ me and asked if she could contact me if she decided it was right. Honestly, I'm getting so tired and spread thin of building myself up and telling myself I'm doing the most that I can to make up for things. When I get reminded that it's not enough and that my legacy is based on an 11 year old boy, especially by someone so close, that's when I refrain from doing things that normally would lead me to being happy. Thanks for listening
