The short explanation
What your partner did is a serious breach of trust and consent. Removing a condom without your agreement, sometimes called stealthing, is not acceptable, and many people consider it a form of sexual violence. Your feelings of being cheated and scared are completely valid. For your health right now, consider emergency contraception if the most recent time was within the last few days, and STI testing. A copper IUD can work as emergency contraception up to about five days and then protect you ongoing. Going forward, a method you control, such as an implant or IUD, may give you more security, along with condoms for infection protection if you choose to continue the relationship.
What depends on your situation

- If you want to report it, you can seek advice from support services.
