Answers:
Confronting him could have its own set of risks that the original assault did not have. Do NOT confront him without another person, preferably a police officer, present. If you are an adult now, be prepared for people to ask "Why did you wait so long.?" Health Question & Answer

If you really feel that you need to talk to him about it then do so. But don't make it a serious, threatening conversation type of thing. But, your husband is right though, you really should try to let it go, but if you can't and it has majorly effected you life, like I would think it would, then maybe you should confront him. But please, please, please be careful about it.Health Question & Answer

What I think you should do is search in your mind and find the good that came out of that and then sit down with your husband and explain it to him. What you are doing is holding on to the past; is it helping you at all.? I could tell you the reason, but it has nothing at all to do with you. You see, you are married now and you don't want your past to haunt you. You would be like a ghost to him that came back to haunt him. I know it is hard to let go, but you must. You are not a ghost.Health Question & Answer

I'm sorry to hear about that.
I think you should confront him, because I would want to as well.
Confront him and then turn him into the police, because hon you can't allow him to get away with it.
If you don't, you'll wish you did later.

Good luck

No, but I would turn him into the police so he doesnt do it again. I don't know if the time limit has expired yet depending on how old you are. He should pay for what he did.Health Question & Answer
