my head is spinning. I dont really have the guts to talk to any of my friends about what is going on (and has been happening since we first started going out when I think back) between me and my partner,, because of the subject matter and also because am not very good at talking about the deep and meaningful stuff with my friends and also I know that if I was hearing from my friend what I have to say then I would be like 'you need to leave the relationship its not healthy for you or your kids and what if it gets worse he'll never change'
I dont think I could leave him and Im not sure I want to!?!?

We went out for his birthday meal just us two at night(rare!), no kids (very rare) it was sooo nice a really good evening and we were getting on so well. We got home to the baby awake (let the babysitter go) so I went to settle him which took a while so went straight to bed as we both had work the next day. The wine had gotten to me and I vaguely remember him getting into bed so I have no idea when it happened but I know it did even though Im still feeling in shock about it I think, I woke up screaming as he anally raped me. Its not the first time its happened but its never been while I was aleep before and he was so upset from me being so hurt and shocked and upset last time he said it would never happen again and was really sorry so I thought but it has happened again n this time he hasnt even tried to be sorry, say sorry or even look sorry about it hes barely spoken to me but to be honest we havent had much time together since it happened (last thursdaynight/fridaymornin) anyway but my heads been spinning since it happened,, last time i walked out the back door n said i was leaving him obviously i never did and he was so upset we 'got over it' iykwim, I just dont know what to do for the best or maybe I do and I dont have the guts to do it.
I woke our daughter up with my screaming and she saw me slamming our bedroom door and shaking and i went slept in her room told her i had had a very bad dream when she asked the next day.

Tonight was the first time we could of really talked about what happened and hes gone to watch the world cup final at the local!? i text him n said it really says a lot about what he feels about our relationship that the footy is his priority especially considering what we need to sort out. Also Im so sore I want to go to a doctor and get checked but im too scared i dont think he even realises that. he really dosent care i think he thinks i'll put up with everything and anything and im scared that i will,, he needs to never do this too me again but i realise now he will because hes made no effort to show me otherwise. when i got out of the bedroom i could hear him punching the walls so i know he felt bad then, im so tired and i dont even know if i should sleep in our bed tonight incase he comes back drunk,, how did i get into this insane situation?? im going now as i think ive waffled a bit and sorry im not even going to preview this i needed to tell someone and really just get it off my chest so maybe tomorrow i can think straight maybe!

Nothing helpful to add, but just worried about you - hope you are ok

loopyloops · 12/07/2010 16:13

Oh god, I hope you're ok. Please go back, and maybe take the children away for a couple of days. He will manipulate you.

If you need someone to go with you or look after the kids while you're being examined, I'm sure someone on here will be local enough to help.

Please look after yourself. We're all worried about you.
You're doing the right thing by the way, this is no way to live, it needs changing.

colditz · 12/07/2010 16:14

He anally raped you.

he's still in your house.

What the fuck happened to you when you were younger to make you feel you are worth so, so little now?

colditz · 12/07/2010 16:16

I live in Leicestershire.

CAT me if I can be of any help to you.

I know I come across as terse on line but I promise you, I will bend IRON to help a woman out of the situation you are in.

ShinyAndNew · 12/07/2010 16:20

DDD AF is speaking sense. Please be very, very careful. If you feel you can't leave, please make sure you have constant easy access to money/phone/keys. Now it has sunk in he will not be happy that you have been to the hospital.

I'd take Custy up on her offer of help, too. If I was in your situation I would love for someone as strong as she seems to be to fight my corner/support me.

Good luck. Keep us updated. We will all do anything we can to help.

loopyloops · 12/07/2010 16:21

and I'm in Worcestershire if that's any help.

Colditz - you are a star.

ShadeofViolet · 12/07/2010 16:32

I am in North Nottinghamshire and if there is anything I can do then CAT me. Mumsnet can be a wonderful place for support and we all want to help you and make sure you are safe.

AuntieMaggie · 12/07/2010 16:45

DDD - if you read this in time please call your gp again and explain what happened or go back to the hospital this evening - you need to get checked out.

Good luck.

PortiaNovmerriment · 12/07/2010 16:48

Dilly, I am very near you I think. If it helps, just get in touch and I could accompany you to the hospital or help with the children. If you click on the contact poster button, HQ will pass on a message.

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 12/07/2010 16:50

I hope you're reading this Dilly There are a lot of people here who want to help you. Please take someone up on it?

TheLadyOfTheGreenKirtle · 12/07/2010 16:53

im in shropshire, i hope you are getting help.

ElectricSoftParade · 12/07/2010 17:11

DDD - please get back to the hospital/gps and be seen urgently. Sadly a friend of mine was raped this way and has ben left with permanent problems as she was too ashamed to be seen until she HAD to be rushed to hospital with infection etc.

I am so shocked at what has happened to you and wish I could help in any way. Contact me if you like, stay on MN and please look out for yourself and your dc. My thoughts are with you and hope we hear from you soon ESPx

DeFluffy · 12/07/2010 17:16

TheLadyOfTheGreenKirtle · 12/07/2010 17:28

ShadeofViolet · 12/07/2010 17:34

OP please get out. I know you might think you are not strong enough but you are. We are all really worried about you. Please accept our help if you need it.

I have realised I dont know where Southport is! - it it down south?

Rafwife · 12/07/2010 17:36

What actually worries me, is he knows this is out know, the hospital, gp will know what has happened, they will know you have kids.

This could make him VERY angry, I hope you have gone.

The OP didnt say, but I think someone did a search on her previous threads.

ItsGraceActually · 12/07/2010 17:53

DDD, everyone is warning you about escalating violence because that is to be expected when an abused wife begins to stand up for herself. I don't know whether your H is nasty to you in other ways? If so, these warnings are appropriate and important.

If raping you is the only way he shows his contempt for you, it's possible he won't escalate to other violence (yet) but don't bank on it. You can be completely sure he WILL rape you again, and it will become ever more painful. The fact that he couldn't be bothered about the pain he caused you tells you all you need to know about it. No matter what else he says now, keep remembering that you screamed and he didn't stop.

I know much courage and common sense it takes to protect your own safety and your daughter's. Get medical help, make sure the cause is on record, and find support to keep your mind clear.

ShadeofViolet · 12/07/2010 18:36

I hope the OP is okay

TheLadyOfTheGreenKirtle · 12/07/2010 18:38

me too.

Mummiehunnie · 12/07/2010 18:38

Just caught up with this tread, ddd, you have been so very brave, I hope that you find the medical care you need, and that you and your children find some safety and peace soon, wishing you well xxx

loopyloops · 12/07/2010 18:54

Please let us know how you are xxx

Jux · 12/07/2010 18:55

ddd, I am thinking of you. I am worried about you. (Am in Devon, but I don't think that's much help; if it is, call on me.)
