Sex talk - is this normal?

I feel like these things aren’t normal but I’m struggling to frame them. Dh doesn’t shout or anything, I think he might think this is meant to be attractive? It doesn’t feel it and I don’t like it.

Tells me if I walk around wearing x I will get it whether I want it or not.
Calls me his ‘sexy piece of ass’ as in he will say ‘whose sexy piece of ass is this? It’s mine’
Asks when he will ‘gets a go on his sexy piece of ass’
Says things like ‘I want to knock the back out of you.’ And ‘get your knickers off and go and lie and think of England for three minutes.’
Bought me some chocolate and when I thanked him said ‘got to have your eyes on the prize.’
Says things such as ‘it’s my marital rights to have sex on tap’

He’s never forced me or anything. He has sulked so that I’ve given in though.

He makes comments quite frequently about killing me / another man if i left him and met someone else or if I cheated on him. But it’s said jokingly. He also says I’m never allowed to leave him and puts his arms around me and says ‘this I the ring of steel I’ve got you in.’

None of it is said in an abusive way or anything but I frequently feel like an object rather than anything else. Are these normal jokes? I don’t know.

Really not normal. Sorry.

I don't believe for a minute that you're questioning if this is normal. What were you told last time you posted? You aren't happy, what are you going to do about it?

@Bluegreenandyellow been there. I didn't know I was being abused either. It didn't really sink in until counselling after we split up.

Please get help. Ring women's aid. This is coercive control.

Keep talking to us if it helps.

Towards the end with my ex, we hadn't had sex for ages and I knew he was v angry and he made those comments (which is what put me right off along with other behaviours), I used to lie in bed trying to sleep wondering if he'd eventually rape me. It's no way to live.

You deserve love,kindness and of course to feel safe. Please get help to leave.

I understand all the replies suggesting you answer back, call him on his abusive (and it IS abusive) shit, tell him to fuck off etc but actually op, I implore you not to do that.

If he senses a change in you, you are in real danger.

Talk to women's aid, your dr, your mum.
Get a plan in place.
Leave.
But for the love of God continue to be meek and submissive as you have always been until you have closed the door behind you or I honestly fear we will be reading about you in a newspaper.

He is incredibly dangerous and it is so upsetting that you can't see it Flowers

He sounds awful OP.

You're worth more than this. Think very carefully and make some plans to leave.
