firstly yes men can be raped i agree with the rest of the aunts, i would stay with him its the past things like that happen when drunk, what kind of women goes after a man being sick yack she sounds like a dirty old ho and prob out her trolley! he was in the wrong place at the wrong time!
if he feels badly about this go to counselling he didnt want this to happen so talking about this will help.

I agree with the others. A man can be raped. And if his story is true (and it sounds like it probably is) than he was raped. If you look at the facts both before and after - before he was loving, your relationship was great; after he was distant , going to church, and obviously hurting - then his story is probably true.
I don't suggest leaving him if you love him. I don't think this is a form of cheating. Yes, he could be lying, but all of the pieces are adding up to him not at this point. Support him, show him how much you love him, and in the end this may bring you two even closer. If he STILL has trouble getting passed it and feels that he's less of a man, then he'll need to seek professional help because again, it is rape.
For the record, just remind him that when he is a drunk as he was.... an 8 year old could probably beat him up. So tell him not to feel as bad. And if he no longer wants to feel like he's "less of a man" tell him not to get so drunk.

If he's telling the truth, it definitely sounds like rape. Men CAN be raped, though it's uncommon, and is in no way a form of cheating.
