How do I stop my husband from constantly groping me?
DEAR DEIDRE: How do I stop my husband from constantly groping me?
We’ve never had issues like this before, but in the last few months, he’s turned into a complete sex pest.
I’m 52, my husband is 56 and we’ve been married for twenty-two years.
While we’ve always had a good and active sex life, recently my husband has become insatiable.
Whether we’re out at home, he’s developed an awful habit of grabbing me in inappropriate places.
Sex is constantly on his mind, and if he’s not making crude comments, he’s staring at me with lustful gazes.
I used to love that he fancied me so much but there’s no let up now and I find his approach exhausting and invasive.
I’ve tried to tell him to stop, but every time he acts scorned and sulky.

DEIDRE SAYS: You deserve to be treated with more respect. Your husband is constantly overstepping your boundaries despite the fact you’re showing no interest.
Sit down with him and see if you can get to the bottom of this change in behaviour. Perhaps he’s watching a lot of porn.
Even if he believes he is doing it affectionately, if he’s constantly touching you sexually without your consent, it’s a form of sexual assault.
Pick a moment to talk to him and explain how serious this is. Try to establish some clear limits around when it is and isn’t okay for him to initiate this sort of contact.
My support pack Standing Up For Yourself is attached to help you to talk to him calmly.
