Common conclusions
Based on your answers, it is unlikely that you suffer from spouse or partner sexual violence. Whether the sexual violence is inflicted on a partner, spouse or stranger: sex without consent is wrong by any means.
Unfortunately, you are displaying one or more signs typically seen among individuals who suffer from spouse or partner sexual violence. Forced sexual acts traumatize and humiliate the victim, especially when they are disguised in a ‘caring and loving relationship’. Spouse or partner sexual violence has everything to do with the abuser’s desire for control. Other abusers believe that they have the right to do everything they want sexually with their spouse or partner. Consent is continuous, also in relationships. Sex without consent is always wrong, regardless of the relationship between the offender and victim. If you suffer from sexual violence, seek professional help as soon as possible.
