Fighting with your boyfriend is quite different than a surprise attack by a stranger. You know that your boyfriend isn't going to hurt you. With a rapist, he's got the element of surprise on his side, plus fear can paralyze a person, you also might just think, that if I just cooperate he 1. won't hurt me, 2. wont kill me.

and also the least reported because it's not always easy to prove. People expect a rapist to be a stranger... Oh you knew his name? You couldn't have been raped, you must have been sending signals to him that you wanted it... That you said no, but you really didn't mean it...
