Origional poster, You did not mention if this is something that recently happend or if it was something from your past that you are wondering if you should share with your spouse.
I personally think that I would defintiely share it with my spouse and more importantly i'd want my spouse to share it with me. If my spouse had been raped or assulted and I knew about it, I could be a lot more supportive and helpful in an effective way. If you are not telling your spouse to avoid the argument about whether or not to report it. Ultimately, there is NO argument to be had, it's your experience, your body, case closed.
Would I report it? Yes I would. If someone did it to you, that same person WILL and I repeat ABSOULUTLY WILL do it to someone else. And I couldn't live with myself knowing that this person could do that to someone else when I could have potentially stopped it.
But again, I have never (Thankfully) been assulted or raped . I am just close to many family members who have been, So I am not really one to say.
I hope you feel comfortable sharing with your spouse someday, whether someday comes sooner or later, I hope you report it and potentially stop a criminal and stop someoen else from becoming a victim of this heinous crime.
All I can say is we Diser's love you and support you no matter what you decide!
