This. But it was drilled into me by my father to never ever under any circumstance to hit a woman. And I never have, even when she sexually assaulted me. It would have been justifiable for me to hit her to get her off of me, but I know deep in my being that she would have called the cops and I would have gone to jail for battery, and she would not have had to answer for the assault at all. I still don’t really know what I should have done in that situation, but I do know that I should have not stayed married to her.
You should always defend yourself with the minimum necessary force.

Sending warm and positive thoughts your way, you didn’t deserve that. Hopefully you’re far away from her now.
Thank you so much. I am safe now, as far away from her as I can be.
