Husband become distant after I was abused

Default profile image
I was sexually abused last weekend whilst returning to our room after a night with a friend. The abuse was mild but still frightening. I didn't tell my husband until the day after we had returned home. I still don't know why. I was going through the 'was it my fault' stage I think? He was very upset and angry to begin with but also very supportive. But after a day or so he became distant and now he can barely speak to me at all. I feel like he doesn't want to be near me anymore. He says he loves me but it doesn't feel that way. He is crying more than I am. I don't know how to cope anymore because on top of trying to live with what happened to me I have to live with what it has done to my marriage. I am beginning to think that my marriage is over but after 23 years together and 3 still young children I'm not ready to give up. Please can somebody help me ?

I think you need to keep talking to each other about what has happened, and about the effects on each of you. If you are unable to do that, or there are 'no go' areas, then I recommend getting some third-party help. In the UK there is Relate, and also Marriage Care, both organisations have websites with more details of local branches. Hope you can get it sorted soon. ATB Sky

I think besides being upset over the situation he may be hurt that you did not tell him right away. It is not your fault! I do not think your husband wants to leave, but he may be feeling your pain and could be afraid to reach out due to what happened. Maybe some family counseling would help.
