A woman has sparked a debate after opening up about her marriage and saying that her husband "gropes" her and "nags" her for sex.

She took to the British parenting website Mumsnet to explain her predicament and wrote: "I'm basically sick of my husband groping me and nagging me for sex."

She continued by writing that she's annoyed at her "horny teenager" husband who she "forces herself" to have sex with once a week - to which he said, "twice a week is the norm" for most married couples.

She added that he constantly makes dirty comments at her, smacks her bottom if she bends over, makes crude remarks if she is in the shower, and wants a "full-on snog fest" if she's in the kitchen.

Many commenters were divided by her post, with some being revolted by her husband's action as sexual abuse and saying she is being sexually assaulted in her own home.

One user wrote: "This is awful - just reading it makes me feel claustrophobic and creeped out. Why are you with him?"

Another shared: "I agree with PP you should stop having sex with him altogether, no one should be having sex they don't want anyway but he needs to see cause and effect."

"Next time he initiates sex at a time when you would usually respond say 'sorry DH I can't, I'm still turned off from when you tried to grope me earlier', and repeat every time until he stops," they added.

A third chimed in and said: "Gross. He is sexually harassing you. He has no right to anything from you. I would use the words sexual harassment when you are speaking to him."

A fourth user wrote: "Your body is not his property, he needs to be made well clear on this. if you don’t want it, it's the biggest turn-off ever."

Other users on the platform said that they seem incompatible and that she should consider her relationship with him.

One wrote: "You don't seem to match your partner at all. He does seem full on but you seem the exact opposite. All this means you really need to consider your relationship because it isn't going to get better..... you'll both just grow more resentful."

Another said: "Do you find your husband attractive? Because it seems to me like you don’t...You’d be better off leaving him and letting him find someone more on his level."

After seeing the many comments under her post, the woman replied under the post saying that her husband "seems to think" that she should be "flattered" he wants her, but she's not.
