Suddenly single at 37 weeks

My (ex) dp likes it rough in bed, and I like him to take control. It's not always full on but rarely entirely vanilla.
Up until now he's always listened if I've asked him to stop something/ease off. I even joked about being too fragile for him right now.
This time he didn't stop.
I was already in pain from SPD and ill too. I was in no mood for more pain ... He ignored that and only stopped inflicting pain when I started crying and said I couldn't take any more. Didn't stop fucking me though. I was done in by then and just let it happen. Fell asleep after in his arms but in shock.
After a while I asked him why he did it. He said it's what he likes. I said it meant I couldn't trust him anymore etc tried to get him to see, desperately hoped he might apologise and do anything to make feel better but he has acted like he couldn't care less. So it's over. I did the right thing in ending it right? I'm scared shitless at giving birth without his support. Of having a newborn without him being around. He was good at looking after me. I'm gutted. I miss him I feel so let down and confused by the sudden coldness... How do I get through this? Am I supposed to now just let him know when the baby's arrived? Am I supposed to provide contact?

OP I am 38 weeks pregnant. I can’t even imagine my H touching me right now let alone using me for rough sex.

This is completely and utterly wrong. Please stand up for your rights. He raped you and showed that he did not give a shit about you and the baby.

Op if social services got involved, in no way does that mean they are going to take away your baby or anything like that. They could offer you a great deal of support.

You and your baby need Protecting from that monster!

He is disgusting!
I'm 32 weeks and my fiance and I have only had sex 3 times while I've been pregnant. I also have spd and everything down there feels swollen! Was much the same with my first baby too. He has never pushed for sex and we have lots of kisses and cuddles

How did he think he'd cope once you'd had the baby? I had an episiotomy so it was another 12 weeks after until I felt like sex and even then it had to be slow and gentle.
You've done the right thing

OP - do you believe he raped you?
Is he a danger to the public?

You'll be ok. Sounds like he is a nasty pig so better he is gone now.

This is just awful I'm so sorry he did this to you.

Please call Women's Aid and/or Rape Crisis. As much as you've been given great support on this thread I think you need to speak to someone trained in this sort of thing.

Also have you told any friends or family members? You should have someone with you really.

OP I really feel for you..... Please don't underplay what has happened..... Please get some help and do speak yo your midwife.

Horrendous you have definitely done the right thing leaving him... thinking of you xx

zozozoo · 20/08/2018 11:30

Nadia no I don't believe he's a danger to the public else I'd certainly be taking it to the police etc. Haven't yet ruled it out depends how he behaves from now on.

He's not the first man I've lost respect for... Just wish he'd shown me this side sooner. To find out I'll be doing this on my own at the last minute is really shit! Anyway thank you again so much for the help and advice and supportive messages xx
