The fiance, Peter Cotterill, who has now been sentenced to eight years in prison, preyed on her as she suffered a seizure, Georgina Adams revealed.
Adams has asked other victims suffering in silence to reach out to the police.
In an emotional interview, according to the the Daily Mail UK, 24-year-old waived her right to anonymity to speak about the abuse meted out by the man she thought was ‘the love of her life’.
The couple, who had been in relationship for five years before the first incident on June 9, lived together in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent.
Cotterill admitted he forced himself on her, but after apologising, attacked her again three weeks later causing her several bruises.
Adams said, “I was too upset to say anything. I felt dirty and disgusting. He made me feel confused, like I’d imagined it, but after about half-an-hour of me questioning him, he admitted it.
“I had pushed the rape to the back of my mind because I didn’t want to believe he had done that to me.
“We were in bed talking and then he got on top of me. I said no so many times. ‘He’s 6ft and over 20 stone and I couldn’t push him off me. He was very apologetic – I went out of the bedroom and I was crying.
“But then when I went back into the bedroom, he did it again. He forced so hard I had bruises.”
Cotterill was charged with rape and sexual assault after Adams called in the police On July 30.
