More than one in five women is raped by their husband, or partner.
Rape is, by definition, non-consensual. But she gave consent when she made her vows. And it should be mutual.
I speak as a man who’s wife refused sex for 14 months before she divorced me. In counseling she accused me of sexual abuse (a preposterous claim but not germane here) and the counselor said, “you know, withholding sex is also a form of sexual abuse.”
She refused to go any more.
Meanwhile, my second wife and I just celebrated our 16th anniversary and the honeymoon never ended. It became a new life of marital bliss that I honestly thought was only real in chick films and fiction.
Too much information.
You said ... “That stat always cracks me up. How can a husband rape his wife?”
You may not be aware of it, but there is law out there saying that this can be done and men have been convicted in a court of law. It’s a definite fact.
“That stat always cracks me up. How can a husband rape his wife? Her body is not her own, but her husband’s also.”
Great to meet a fellow knuckle dragger.
I experienced the same wonderful marital bliss that you speak of until I cut up the credit cards. I often wonder if there was a connection.
My wife’s ex husband beat and raped her while they were still married. She had told him that it was over and he beat the crap out of her and raped her by force.
My wife and I have almost hit 22 years married and have the rest of our lives together. He has continued to beat the women in his life. She is not a liberal idiot or a man hater. What happened was not her fault. Your post is ignorant.
