I am very sympathetic to the hand she was dealt but I would not be so quick to completely divorce the action of her boyfriend from what she wanted. That dude was a scumbag and she was mostly a victim, but she also didn’t seem to mind his general intimidation tactics and demeanor until he crossed that line.

Most states it was legal to rape your wife - exemptions were carved out into law. Some states started changing in the 70’s, most in the 80’s - but not all until 1993.
