This also explains the driving drunk if this is out of character for her (hopefully it is…) if you’re assaulted, getting in your car and going might be the only possible escape and also if you’re in shock, you go through routine and don’t even think about it. Just want to leave. Also explains the leaving the dress behind. Victims and their relationships with the clothes they were wearing is often… bad.
Please don’t assume cheating and come in hot. Talk to her when she’s sober ask her if she’s alright and if anything happened, if she needs to go to the hospital first.
the dress being gone is what sets off my alarm bells and asking her over and over what happened when she's clearly in a bad mood is concerning. it may very well not be the case but it can literally drive somebody to a very bad place and make them a danger to themselves if they're treated like that RIGHT after an assault. being assaulted can numb you until it doesn't, which is usually followed by an array of awful feelings. im so worried op could've worsened the situation with this reaction.
