I've put up boundaries and am no longer having any sex I don't want to have. The sulking has stopped, for now.
He had to stop it at that moment in time as it wasn't working.
He's a selfish git but he isn't violent
It is sexual violence.
I feel as though i could have put a stop to this a lot sooner by not going along with it whenever he liked.
You told him you weren't in the mood and stuff sometimes though, but the pestering carried on in one point or another.
He'll try some other manipulative tactic now to get what he wants.
As a PP says he could threaten to leave, or maybe he'll be nice as pie for a bit before going back to his old ways.
As someone said once to me 'if 'no' doesn't stop him then 'stop it' won't either.
You've already told him when you're not up for it numerous times, he just kept pestering. He knows you're not a morning person, or that you were sore etc etc.
Once he realised the sulking wasn't working this time he dropped it.
Yes because it was a tactic to manipulate you, which didn't work this time so he'll try a different one.
I am surprised he dropped it that quickly though
@Quartz2208 Sometimes they can be all 'oh yes, of course, that's fine.' That can be one of the tactics, to make it seem like they accept your boundaries and are decent, laid back people.
Then a few days later or something they'll be back to pestering again.
He said he was sorry, other than that it was just me talking. If I pick him up on something he tends not to discuss, he just listens and agrees and then reverts again later on when he has 'forgotten' about it.
Exactly. xxx
