Would this constitute as rape?

I have a question this has been bothering me for a couple months now. Ok so 3 years ago a guy pinned me down and raped me. So my idea of what is rape and what isnt at this point is cloudy.

My fiance and i were being intimate and I am always having physical pain..it started to hurt a little and I said "wait"..but he knew what i meant by wait because he pushed up a little and readjusted. Now some people are saying that's rape and some are not. I am confused because he is a great guy and would never continue if he KNEW I wanted to stop. Does this constitute rape?

Isn't it only rape if he knew I did want to stop and didn't(which he did not know) and if i didn't want to continue(which i did). Please end this confusion for me as we are supposed to get married soon. Please help?

Please keep in my mind, this is not official legal advice.

My opinion based on what you wrote is your fiance was not trying to harm you and did not rape you. If you feel that he is a great guy and was not trying to hurt you then you should trust your instincts.

It would be different if you said "stop" or "no" and he continued to force himself on you. Basically if you do not want to have sex with someone or want them to stop and that person does not listen to you then that would constitute rape. Based on what you wrote above, it does not sound like rape. You should consider talking to your fiance though as your concern is a serious one.
