Is this assault?

[MischiefManagedAlways]

This may seem like a really stupid question but I just need a bit of a sense check.

Just came back for a meal out with my husband and he starts cuddling me in bed, no problem. He then hints at sex but as I’m on my period I said not today as I just don’t like having sex whilst on my period.

He then decided to pick me up and positioned me so I’m sitting on top of him. I repeatedly tell him no and then he’s inside me. I managed to get off him and now he can’t understand why I don’t want to be near him at the moment because I almost feel like he’s assaulted me.

Am I being over sensitive or as my husband assaulted me?

Does it matter?

Thank you. He doesn’t seem to comprehend what’s he’s done. He thinks I’m being overly sensitive and claims not to hear me telling him no

He didn't hear you say yes, or give any indication you wanted sex. And he decided to go ahead and have sex anyway, physically making you.

It's rape and he's a rapist. I'm so sorry.

Op I'm so sorry this has happened to you. Of course it is clear that this is rape. And his minimising and denial are further offence. Look after yourself

Definitely rape. Doesn't matter that it's your husband, still rape, still wrong, still illegal.

This is what rapists say, isn’t it? I didn’t hear her say no. She didn’t say no.
You had already said no AND given a reason, which you don’t have to.

It's sexual assault at minimum maybe worse depending on exact circumstances.

What you describe is rape. How are you today, OP?

I would suggest calling rape crisis to discuss what’s happened.
