It makes me so sad. Rape is something that should never just be put up with. I look back on my life and I wonder if I could have stayed in the "relationship" that involved rape and even though it was hard, getting out and realizing that the world is brighter and so much more free was worth it. To find someone who loved me for me and didn't feel the need to manipulate situations or use sex as a weapon was worth it.
And I honestly hope she can work up the courage to leave him and to see that side of life that is so much better then what he is doing to her. She deserves so much more.

Aw, speckled, you made me start crying again, and then Stacy made me LOL. I really appreciate your support. I hope you guys aren't too let down by my bull-headedness. God this situation sucks.
I have read all the responses, but I'm giving the therapist the major side-eye. Does he not believe it is rape? Why would he suggest sleeping with her H given all that's happened?
I just want the OP to run down to the open-24-hours courthouse and file for divorce immediately! I'm getting frustrated, and I feel silly for allowing myself to get wrapped around the axle about her situation.

I haven't heard this phrase before, but it's a perfect description.
I'm going to keep doggedly plugging away at this one. I feel like it's going to be one of those things that takes time.
