After the birth of Bronwen, Carwen felt that Eluned no longer loved him, and that she lavished all her love on their daughter. She refused to let him have sexual intercourse with her, though they slept together. To relieve sexual tension he masturbated, which Eluned told him was disgusting and sinful. On Saturday night, 24 October 1885, Carwen forced himself on Eluned, while she kept on telling him to stop. When he had finished, she looked at him and said
'You've hurt me. You've just raped me.'
'I've not raped you. There is no such thing as rape in marriage. You are my wife and I can fuck you whenever I want.' He told her.
' Though rape in marriage is not a crime, it is still wrong. What you just did to me is no different from what those men did to your Ma and to Nia and Rhiannon, back in 1866. And please don't use that word again.'
'What word?'
'The 'f' word.'
'I'm sorry for hurting you, darling.'
'Your apology is accepted. But you must never do that again.'
'I promise I won't.'
'I have done wrong in refusing you your conjugal right. It was selfish of me. I'm sorry. I will let you shag me on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights, except when it's my monthlies. [1] I love you and I want Bronwen to have brothers and sisters. Remember TTS. Time to shag.'
