Re:Comments on spousal rape amess: She followed him into the next bedroom and he "gave it a chance." He states she didn't care about his feelings, but he gave it a chance. No where in there is there a "no." This is a situation that has a lot of gray area, and is not so cut and dried as a clear and concise "NO."
Re:Comments on spousal rape favoriteangel2003: I think when you are married sometimes you don't realize until after the incident took place that maybe you were violated. It is hard to think of rape and marriage all in the same sentence. It was hard to get rape out of the first thread Daniel posted BUT I did get the feeling that he was uncomfortable...very uncomfortable thinking about it now. She was definately the aggressor and when you are married it is hard to distinguish between sexual contact and being sexually violated. If it makes you feel uncomfortable in any way...you are being violated! Love shouldn't hurt or make you feel uncomfortable. That is how I feel and I think it can happen alot in a marriage....unfortunately. :(

Re:Comments on spousal rape in_search_of: For further information on Spousal rape, Wellesley has some good information.
http://www.wellesley.edu/WCW/mrape.html
Because it is put out by the center for women there, they phrase the aggressor as he, and the victim as she, however, the information is good as long as you are not upset by the unfortunate use of pronouns.
Re:Comments on spousal rape favoriteangel2003: ISO,
Thanks for posting this...I think it will be very helpful to inform people about it. It's really sad that it happens. :(

Re:Comments on spousal rape amess: Rape happens in marriage all the time, it is not just reserved for the street, or a date, or what-have-you. However, you must also take a look at his words. He was uncomfortable, but until he actually got out of the second bed, he said "wanted" as well. Sometimes people are confused as to what they want in an intimate relationship. This sounds like one of them. All in all, it wouldn't hold up in a court. Rape is a very, very serious accusation, and not one to bandy around.
