When you don't want to do, don't fucking do it. It's your body, don't let him treat you like this.
Not listening when your partner says no is a huge red flag.
I might have misunderstood since English isn't my native language, but "not in the mood" seemed like "I didn't wanted but he insisted"
This is a sensitive topic for me because this happened to me. My ex wouldn't listen and in the end it was easier to do it since he wouldn't listen or let me sleep until he was satisfied. This kind of behavior is also violence.
Yes it is. But the author also doesn’t really go into detail here. So we all left hanging to our own interpretation. I think the novel would clarify it more. Also she seems so sad the whole time like everything’s a chore and she’s done fighting with a man she knows doesn’t love her. I feel like she think of it just as a duty she has to get it over with. This is sad man, all just for her baby.
I remember watching this game showwhere one of the contestants, an older woman, said something like she would never turn her husband down even if she wasn’t in the mood because it was her wifely duty. And what stuck with me was the husband in the audience nodding as the crowd cheered.
Like it took until the 1970s for marital rape to be prosecuted and even now certain cultures don’t acknowledge it. It’s actually pretty fascinating to read about, we used to view rape and consent so differently.
