A spouse, boyfriend, or someone you have sex regularly with is not rape. If you regularly have sex with someone then you are consenting to a sexual relationship.
I don't think anyone is going to argue that a masked stranger holding a knife to your throat is rape, that's pretty obvious.
For most people the blurred lines come with alcohol, drugs, etc. There are no definite definitions in these circumstances and I feel its a case by case basis.
However, after experiences with some of my friends and ex girlfriends, I find that the earlier and closer the rapist is the worst, the older and further away the better.
I know girls that have been sexually assaulted by dads and uncles at early ages. No one believes them, they don't trust anybody, and will end up in bad relationships because the love they've known is so deformed and mutated.
I think, though, that no matter what happens in your life you have to overcome it. If you rob yourself of the ability to love someone, a love so strong that can only be expressed through physical contact, it's your fault, not anyone elses. The world can be cold, harsh, pure evil. Yet, none of this can overcome true love. You have to come to terms with your past, no matter what it is.
Other people can control your body. Only you can control your spirit.

We have intramarital rape laws in America now. It used to be that a man could rape his wife any time, and the law turned a blind eye, because men OWNED their wives. Women were PROPERTY.
It's not like that anymore, at least not legally. I guess some people still think that way, and they're all assholes.
Now if a husband wants sex and his wife says no, and he takes it anyway, it's fucking rape, and the fucker goes to jail.
You don't consent to a sexual relationship. You consent to each sex act individually. You can dump your boyfriend or get a divorce or say "NO" during sex AT ANY SECOND YOU CHOOSE.
