I recently seperated from my husband its now been 5 mths.I spent over 20 yrs with this man who at times seemed very loving..and then very abusive sexually emotionally ,physically.Physically not by hitting but aggressivly.I have been so stupidly blind all these yrs.There is soo much he has done to me difficult things to talk face to face with a counselor about.Just thinking of them allready brings tears to my eyes.I was 17 when I met him.
Our first sexual experience when we first had sex he was very persuasive .I was afraid and not ready,I remember telling him I wasn't ready. He kept trying to persuade me removing my clothes I was afraid and kept telling him I wasn't ready,then I remember him pulling his pants down to his knees.I remember him repeatedly say it would be ok.I remember him being very ecxcited.He wouldnt stop trying and next thing you know he was inside of me. I remember it being painful .I was so tense and couldnt move because he was on top of me .He was 6ft2 200 lbs,I was 5ft 1o6 lbs.I was scared it was like he had this control over me.It was very hard to move or breath with his weight on top of me.There were others around friends nearby in the room doing the same.Now looking back I can see now the red flags I couldn't see before.
He was heavily into porn ,he regularly went to strip bars.I was his "woman".He humiliated me around his friends and I still stayed.He screwed around with other girls at parties and I still stayed.How could I be so blind and stupid. Going over all the yrs is very painful.We had broken up a few times and I took him back.
We married in 1991.Not the fairytale wedding most girls dream of.He stopped the strip bars but rented porn videos weekly.He openly watched porn on the computer,right in front of me.There is so much more that I could share.He wanted sex 3x or more a day.Anal sex he found very arousing he was very persuasive about that also I did not want to even try that.It was so disgusting and degrading to me.He was persistent in doing this with me.The first time he tried I was afraid,the first time he tried I cried because of the pain.But it excited him.His excitment kept him going.He knew I didn't want to.I was afraid of him and how angry he could get to me.
With many more stories I could add ,my most recent sexual abuse happened almost 5 1/2 mths ago.Two weeks before our seperation.He was emotionally abusive and very controling.he had given me the silent treatment for 2 weeks.I was afraid to speak to him the cycle would go silent treatment.Me apologizing and not knowing why he was mad and what I Was apologizing for.Then him not accepting my apology "it was too late for sorry" he would always say to me.That day he left a note on the bed he had printed off the internet about anal sex,with a bottle of lubricant.He knew I hated it.He told me it was just a joke.That night I was awoken by him undressing me he was all over me ,he had been drinking.I was not there emotionally.I cried we talked he said he loved me. Then it happened he positioned me for anal sex.I said to him you know I don't like this..I don't want to do this .He kept trying as I was pulling away.I remembered how painful it could be.He stopped for a few seconds and then he grabbed me again trying to force it in he said "no Im gonna do it anyway you will see I will make you feel good"he couldn'tvhear my tears as he forced himself into me.He continued rapeing me.It lasted only minutes.Then he dressed and went downstairs and I cried myself to sleep.
At this point he weighed about 240 and I weighed 103 lbs.
