So your wife was stealthed, which is a form of rape. Yes she was cheating but both of you suck.

I am shocked at the small number of comments even mentioning this big part of the story. Really shows how poorly people understand what constitutes SA. She was raped and in many states that is still a legal reason to abort.

It’s not a big part of the story from the husband’s perspective. The SA doesn’t change the fact she cheated and the initial sexual encounter was consensual.

If my wife was raped, it would be a big deal to me even if she was going to cheat on me.

I don’t question the fact this was rape, but she did consent to the initial protected sex so there’s no argument that she willfully cheated on him.

Yes. Again: if my wife was raped, it would be a big deal to me even if she was going to cheat on me.

Ok, good for you. It doesn’t seem to be a big deal for him. I’m not even sure it registered to either of them that it’s rape actually. Clearly their relationship is not healthy.

Yup. That’s why he’s a piece of shit.

So is she for cheating on him, even if it was a revenge affair.

Different problem. Someone in their life was raped.

Consent could be taken away at any moment. Further, the removal of a condom during the act and she objects and/or is not aware of its removal, is the literal definition of rape, you nimrod.

Of course consent can be removed at any time, but it doesn’t change the fact that the cheating itself was consensual.

That doesn’t matter, cheating is not illegal, however rape is. What’s so hard to understand that they’re two completely different things.

u/despe666 3d ago

They are completely different things. I never said they were. The guys asked if he was the AH for leaving his wife because she got pregnant on a revenge affair. So while they’re completely different things, both are relevant to the topic of this thread.

OP is a massive piece of shit for not even caring that his wife was fucking raped. There that’s it. And you are too for being a rape apologist.

I’m curious how you came to the wrong conclusion that I’m a rape apologist.

'rape is fine if there has been initial consent' wtf are you talking about?! The husband is a waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse human being for completely ignoring his wifes been raped. Not only was he the one cheating first, his views on how 'abortion for me, not for thee' are utterly disgusting. You trying to defend this somehow is just baffling and uneducated and ignorant. Would you say marital rape is fine since marriage is initial consent to sex?!

u/despe666 3d ago

That’s not what I said, of course rape is never ok. I’m saying that it doesn’t change the fact she cheated on him. And I’m not trying to defend him, they’re definitely both AHs.
