Feeling if dread and no solution to getting back together

I had a smear in October and they took extra swabs as I kept bleeding randomly so just wanted to check everything.

 

It came back negative but I didn’t know the swabs were for stds (Chlamydia etc)

 

My partner who I’m currently on a break with had been having symptoms throughout our relationship with rashes on his man end and always been given creams etc nothing ever went away. Anyway a few weeks ago he said he was off for a std test as had other symptoms and said he’s prob had something the full time he’s been with me (7 years) my partner nor myself didn’t know id been tested for this in October.

 

His tests came back positive and told me I should get checked and he was adamant it’s from prior to our relationship. So I went to the doctors yesterday and the dr told me I was tested in October and was negative. In my mind of 7 years of sleeping with my partner the chances that he had it the whole relationship would mean I would have got it? Or is there a chance I couldn’t have?

 

He’s got a friend (Nov time) that recently he had been out with and acting out of character with and it made me have doubts so now I’m thinking that he’s slept with her and caught something of her esp with me not having it in October. It just all seems to add up.

 

I obviously don’t know the ins and outs of Chlamydia and how much of a % there is that you can catch it if a partner has it. Does anyone know or would it be highly likely I would have it if he’d had it for 7 years.

 

Driving me insane but to be honest I think I’m right in thinking that he’s cheated on me as he was staying out, lying etc and all just seems to time it right.

I think your logic makes complete sense, (meaning he just got it bc he cheated in Nov) but I'm not a doctor and I have no idea. Why dont you call your doctor and ask them?

 

You've been tested and you don't have it... so I wouldn't be embarrassed to ask. Doctors probably hear this all the time... people cheat... stds get passed.

 

If he got in Nov and you were tested in Oct, you could have it....

 

If he had occassional outbreaks, weren't you ever nervous about what it could be and coukd you catch it?

I asked the doctor but obviously she didn’t want to say yes 100% she just said more than likely. Maybe they can’t say yes? I don’t know but I can’t see after all the time with an active sec life I wouldn’t have it. What a crapper of a time :(

 

Then I started reading about it all and all the different things as how it can lay dormant etc now I just feel lost with all the conflicting info. Wish I’d just asked to be retested rather than them just giving me the tablets incase I had got it.

No they never suggested a STD when he went for the outbreak he just had some cream that he would put on when it flares up.

Sorry about all this.

 

Let’s focus on the good news. In the fall you tested negative, and now your took some pills that completely eliminate a minor infection, if you even had it. So, great. You’re a healthy human being with nothing to be concerned about on that front. Cheers to that!

 

Now, the bad news. Something tells me that if we erased this entire std chapter from things with your guy you’d still be left with a pretty rotten connection. How rotten? Where, exactly, is it rotten? This seems to be what you’re breaking your brain to try to prove, to the detriment of you spirit’s health.

 

Rotten is rotten is rotten, is my point. Did he get with someone in November? Maybe, maybe not. Would a hard answer either way really change the way you feel about him, the sense of paranoia and hurt and doubts? I don’t get that impression.

 

I’m sorry you’re hurting right now, and sorry about whatever led you guys to this break. Seven years is a long time, and no doubt there is lots of history and a well of complicated feelings. But in focusing on the nitty gritty of this infection I think you’re kind of avoiding the bigger question, which is whether this is a break that might be best to be a permanent one, for your own emotional health.

 

Physically you are both fine, after all. That’s what good medicine can do. But, emotionally, are you healthy for each other, or infectious?
