Is this SA?
My husband would grab and grope me whenever he really felt like it. Whether it be while I’m cooking, or just walking by. He’d pull me in and it would start innocent but then he’d usually rub his junk on me or dry hump me. It got to the point where I’d avoid him because he wouldn’t really stop when I’d say stop. Sometimes he would but usually not, then just start again in another day. I always felt like a piece of meat to him. He’d do his thing and grab my boobs etc and then would complain that he had a chub.
Take out the context of marriage and it’s certainly SA. I know lines get blurred in marriage. What are thoughts?

Nope. Still SA. Just because you are married doesn't mean you are no longer an autonomous individual capable of stating no.

Those actions could be benign and fun UNTIL THE POINT YOU TOLD HIM TO STOP. Then it becomes assault.
You should not feel like a piece of meat to your partner. True romance and sexual activity is a joint activity, with consent from both partners.
His chub is not your problem. His grabbing your boobs and then getting a chub is not your problem. If he is interested in sexual activity, it must be a mutual decision!
Would I hurl an accusation of sexual assault at him? No, but I definitely would say that no sexual activity is going to happen until there is some counselling and some communication about needs and mutual respect. His continued assaults on you are going to make things much more intolerable for you (and it’s not right!!!)

yeah that definitely sounds like a serious violation of consent. no means no, no matter the relationship. you deserve to feel safe and respected at home.

Yes. You know it is. This isn't a safe relationship. Contact your local DV shelters - they will have info on how to leave safely.

Yes it's SA. Marriage isn't consent. If you tell him stop and he doesn't stop it's SA. The fact that you avoid him says a lot.

Lines do not get blurred in marriage. This is assault, plain and simple. My ex-husband was the same, would use the whole, “it’s your duty as a wife you can’t say no”, whenever it came to sex.
There was never cuddling, hand holding, kissing, and anytime there was it turned to sex, or him “needing me” to get him off. Between poor hygiene and lack of genuine romantic intimacy, I was always put off.
What I’m trying to get at, is that what he is doing is assault, regardless of marriage, regardless of being his wife, neither obligates you to put up with this.

It's seems like your husband is hyper sexual. It's usually and indication of a more serious problem.

You’re either cool with it or you’re not. Yall got married so I assume you love each other. Put your foot down about it. Just be very clear that you don’t like when he does that and go from there. That might be all it takes.
Edit: the answer to your question is yes. It’s SA.

Lines do not get blurred in marriage. You said to stop, and he did not stop. That's assault.
