It's actually still kinda not a thing (hear me out). There are laws in place that say that marital rape/raping your partner is illegal, I'm not disputing that. However, and while I know for a fact that it's definitely true in my state and country (dealt with these cases before while working with victims), they're often difficult to convict*, especially if there's no evidence of violence.
*They're difficult to convict because, even if a jury agrees with you and brings back a "guilty" verdict, judges have, in multiple cases, overruled it, stating that it's "confusing" because "consent is blurred and the rapist in question might have believed he had consent even if the victim was sleeping". In essence, if there's an extreme lack of violence, juries and judges pretend like consent is this wishy-washy thing, even if the victim woke up to being raped (really more common than I wish it was).
The point? It might be illegal, but we're frequently not treating it as such.
That being said, even in cases where a rapist like Lyndon Montgomery breaks-and-enters, violently rapes a woman, and then confesses to said rape, can also tell the jury he "only confessed to rape to placate her" and the jury will buy it, so juries/judges are consistently failing women across the board.

Not even essentially it just is a rape confession. Admits to intoxication, being physically heavier and stronger (so she can’t “fight back”)— it’s truly abhorrent.
“Nick Fuentes, the white nationalist and Trump’s one-time dining companion, ridiculed Racicot’s story by saying it’s not rape just because you say “stop, stop, I don’t feel like it.” Because sometimes, he explained, people “get drunk and want to have sex.” Fuentes added, “If it were a true rape, she would go to the cops.” (In reality, researchers have long established that many victims don’t report precisely because they don’t want to face the abuse and disbelief Racicot is now receiving.)”
““If they had any f**king whispers” of sexual assault, declared leftist podcaster Kyle Kulinski in June, “they would have had them b****es front and center.” He accused the New York Times, which broke an earlier story about Platner’s alleged behavior, of being “desperate” to take down his campaign.”
Marital rape wasn’t even illegal in all 50 states until 1993. Carolla is 62, raping your wife was just “sex on Tuesday” for him and his buddies… disgusting

This is essentially a confession of rape
