Bad sign, there. He didn't stop groping (nope--call it what it is: sexually abusing) you because you don't like it. He only stopped because it didn't achieve his goal. It's likely he may continue to pursue his own agenda by other means that are just as dismissive of your wants/needs/likes but more harmful to you. He may well want physical intimacy from you, but I suspect this behavior is more about maintaining control, not just physically but over your thoughts, feelings, and moods. If he can't do it by drinking, he will try the passive-aggressive crapola. When that stops working, it goes hands-on and can go badly very quickly.
