Social Media Woman is raped by husband two months after getting a double mastectomy due to breast cancer
Temporary_Wealth_534 Throwaway for privacy.
I (45F) had a double mastectomy due to breast cancer. Two months later, my husband (45M) demands we have sex because āitās been too longā. He basically issued an ultimatum. So I finally agreed but asked him to not touch my chest. I had tissue expanders in and everything there was extremely sore.
He agreed but in the middle of sex he started grabbing my chest. It hurt. I begged him to stop. He didnāt listen to me, just kept going.
Iāve been trying to forgive and forget and move past it but I canāt. I told him I want a divorce and applied for an apartment. He tells me Iām being dramatic and that he didnāt cause any permanent damage. I donāt think I can ever trust him again. My family is telling me Iām overreacting, that men have needs. Thatās the only reason Iām here. Theyāre telling me that expecting my husband to honor that boundary was unrealistic.
AITAH?
Temporary_Wealth_534 Update: An apartment is opening up next week. Iāll take the day off and move out while heās at work. Thanks everyone for supporting me. Iām so glad I didnāt quit my job like he wanted me to when I found out I have cancer. I would have been stuck with him.
