Sexual coercion

[Dollydingle]

I believe my husband has been using sexual coercion on me for many years. I have now split from him and he is still trying to manipulate me by threatening to sell the house. (detail removed by moderator) And has told me if it doesn’t work out with them he will be moving back home with me and my sons.

Can I report his sexual coercion after all these years? And now I’m not living with him? Any help would be greatly appreciated x

Hi dollydingle I divorced my husband after decades of sexual coercion still trying to come to terms with that was  what it was ..slamming doors silent  treatment..if I said no to wearing me  down until I said OK doing nice things for me expecting me to give him what he wanted begging saying it would help him sleep ease his stress sorry of tmi it all goes around in my head as I felt used and he never respected a no and carried on regardless ..during counselling I was told it’s hard to prove in a court of law and my solicitor said would not make a difference to my divorce settlement financially which it didn’t..that was just the advice I was given take your own guidence from where it’s possible xx

Ultimately it seems like the best solution (if you’re married and share a home ) seems to be to get a divorce underway as soon as possible. In this way you can sell the joint home and split the assets and go your own way.
Others who know more than me about these things, have commented before about the fact that he has every right to live in the shared home, and always will have ( unless you can get a protection order type of thing but these are only relatively short term and granted only if you are in immediate danger).
Yes, if he gets bored of his new squeeze he can come home.

Get some advice while you can, while he’s not there, many solicitors do a free half hour or you can look stuff up on the internet.
