Telling a woman who is being raped to move to another bed so it doesn't happen is good? |

Start going to meetings, then you're not a drunk, you're an alcoholic. |

What, you want the advice to be "dump the shithead"? I'm pretty damn sure that both the writer and responder were trying to go through a list of things that could be done without resorting to this issue. Yes it is rape and if he follows her to the other bed, she definately should dump the shithead, but in the meantime, she still has a few options - and quite frankly, if she jumped straight to the bottom of the list, she would only have to deal with one more round of this shit before leaving. I would actually guess that if the advice had been "dump the shithead" without offering any alternatives, she would not have taken it. It sounds like she wants to try to keep their marriage together while addressing this issue. |

Wow. Sorry. I should have read through my post to make sure I didn't say "dump the shithead". Oh wait… Well I assume you can see where this one is going. In fact I believe it was completely relevant to mention a sleep disorder, perhaps suggest counselling for his drunkenness, and confront him about it. Preferably once she has somewhere set up that she can run to if the worst suspicion is true. But at the end of the day I don't think trying to work through it is an option when your husband is raping you. It's not healthy, it's not doing any good and down the line the fact that he wasn’t punished for being a rapist could bite someone on the arse. It might not be what she wants but it is an option. One that should have been pointed out in the reply. At the end of the day there is no point in speculating why she wrote the letter. Even if you could know. It wasn't just published for her. People need to be told that what is happening is rape and they don't have to put up with it because, unfortunately, some people still need to be told. It's rape, it's abuse, it's wrong, it's illegal. |

Better advice would have been to swap places with the mother in law in bed just before he comes home drunk. He'd never try it again....... |
