Morning
I need some advice..
Me and my husband have been together almost 10 years, married 6, and have two children.
We have lived together the whole time.
Since my youngest was born (almost 6) my husband keeps touching me sexually in the night while i am asleep, I wake up to him with his hands on my vagina etc, sometimes inside but this hasn't happened for a long time as far as I'm aware.
Years ago when it first started I use to wake up frozen scared and just lay still and see what happened, he would always act as if he was being careful not to wake me, will carefully put my clothes back how they were etc. He does not make the effort with me while im awake, he wont kiss me etc before bed, he will wait till im sleeping. I hate it.
So we have had huge arguments about this, I dont like it, I dont consent. Relationships been very rocky for this reason.
So in the last year we had a huge argument about 8 months ago I said if it happened again I would call the police and that he would have to move out, he told me if it came to that i would be moving out and he would be staying put with the children as "his presence makes more of an impact". It all stopped. Things got better, we brought a house together in September with inheritance from my family.
Since the house went through and contacts were exchanged, it has been happening again, almost every other night, I'm getting barely any sleep, I'm anxious and stressed out. What the hell do I do?
He doesn't listen to me, he has no respect for me, also in this time period since it has ramped up again I've been through an awful termination due to medical reasons, and I've woken up this morning after being frozen with him touching me last night, and not said a word to him, and unless I bring it up he won't acknowledge it.
I feel like I can't leave as I can't afford the house on my own, and also all things aside he is a fantastic dad to our children.
I also confided in my mum about it and she basically told me he is a great man and to get over it so I feel I have no support and will be made put to be the bad guy.
Also to add we moved 6 hours away from both our home towns so bar my parents and a few friends we have no one here.
