[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happened to me and it was the beginning of the end. I could not trust my husband or feel safe with him anymore. Which means I could not willingly have sex with him, which led to this cycle of anger and coercive sex where I would endure just to make him less angry.

I never told anyone, and when I finally left, he demanded (and got) 50/50. He’s now living with a woman who left an abusive marriage and has young children—they are parading around as the happy blended family. I worry about that dynamic and its impact on my kids all the time.[/quote]

The people saying to just leave have no idea if OP even works and your outcome is the likely one, PP. I am sorry you experienced this too. And someone who would assault his wife may not be a great parent, so there may be safety concerns. I stayed for years until my kids got older. The system often does not protect, even when ex DH left a toddler and preschooler alone and neighbors called CPS, got 50/50. Men like this tend to be family court nightmares if they have the financial means. They like to show that they are not contained by rules or norms. There are no really good answers for you, I am so sorry you were assaulted and now are in this situation, OP. If he was genuinely remorseful, could be a chance, but he does not seem to be. [/quote]
