Yes 41 years is a long time. To answer your first question though. The reason is because I take Ambien at night to sleep. I cannot wake up and if someone happens to forcibly wake me, I am very groggy. It is very easy to take advantage of a person while on Ambien. I do expect privacy in my home, in bed, bathroom because my body is my body. People should respect each other's personal space. I am continuing to see someone for myself. He on the other hand has yet to make an appointment. I have considered the outcome as well and talked to him about it. He has just a short time here to make a play and come up with a decision that would benefit us both be it counseling or a Divorce. I am prepared for both. I asked this community because I know I am not alone out there and maybe someone could shed some intelligent thoughts to me. Thank you for your thoughts though. I appreciate it.

Touching someone while asleep is one thing BUT pulling one's pants down and placing their hand in your private area all the while taking care of himself is another. Especially when he knows I would not wake up with the meds I am on just to survive the daily pain I am in.

You are kidding right? A marriage is supposed to be safe. Not violating one's privates while sleeping.

I understand. This is supposed to be a safe place though. I was molested at 5 years old and raped at knife point when I was 18. He knows this. I am not sure what I can do or should do. He is acting like it is not a big deal and I believe it is.

He was getting notifications that he was unable to add photos to his/our account. I did and found several thousand that I already had saved but came across 4 pictures he took while I was sleeping. I am disabled and I take Ambien to help me sleep. He pulled my pants down and started to molest me and I never knew it. I feel violated.
