Hello, I just need bit of advice as I don't think I can say this to anyone in real life.
I am 41 and have two children from a previous marriage. My recent partner has lived with me for 6 years, never paid any bills, supplied food or anything. I pay for everything. He kept his benefits for himself. That I think is bad enough tbh. We had many arguments over this yet nothing changed. Anyway I was already getting sick of this tbh. Also his phone was always hidden, I was never allowed on it.
He suffered with night paralysis most nights but didn't believe me when I said he was screaming in the night. I got a little camera and set it up to show him what happens so he could see it for himself.
In the morning I looked at the camera to find him taking photos of my vagina whilst I was asleep, carefully lifting my shorts up and then proceed to masterbate all over me. I stirred while he was doing this and I saw him quickly lay down and pretend to be asleep until I settled again. Then he continued. I feel so abused. I said this to him and he started crying saying he just missed me because we hadn't been very sexually active for a while. He told me I'm going over the top. I have now separated from him but he is still acting like a victim and texting my my teenage sons and my family. What shall I do please?

Block him from your teenage sons phones, and tell your family why you've split up and suggest to them to block him.

Go to the police over the non consensual sexual assault.

Are you able to access counselling to help you process and recover from this? 💐

This is assault. Do you know what he has done with the photos? Definitely go to the police.
Hope you’re ok

You are going to get a lot of angry responses on here. Don’t read them if you don’t want to.

But we are all incandescent on your behalf.

Don't want to read and run. I hope someone better qualified comes along to support you shortly.
Please go to the police. This is not ok and is serious sexual assault. That's 1 night. You don't know what else he has done.

BeMellowOchreZebra · 07/01/2025 13:53

Contact the police! It's sexual assault!!

TheSandgroper · 07/01/2025 13:53

You go the police.

I am so sorry. I wish I could give you a hug.

But do go to the police. He has deeply violated you with his depravity. Call Women’s Aid for help if you don’t think you can do it alone. And Mumsnettters will do all they can to support you.

Yes, I'd be temted to report him to the police. But even if you don't do that, you need to a) block him b) tell your family and friends the truth, or whatever version of it you feel comfortable with c) stand by your decision because you know you are right to kick him out.

I think you need to take this to the police 😡 what a disgusting bastard!

I’m so sorry you were violated in such way

Poppyseeds79 · 07/01/2025 13:51

Umm, ignore him. And tell him if he doesn't fuck off you'll report it to the police.

Report him to benefit fraud for starters & make a police report.
