My Spouse Gave Me An STD

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 17/04/2007 - 11:11. Infidelity

Hi

I am so confused. I recently went to the dr for an annual exam and found out that I had two STD's. I confronted my husband and he finally admitted that he has been unfaithful for the past two years. We have only been married for threee. He had unprotected sex with over 6 women, some of whom he doesn't even remember their names. I filed for divorce, but everyone else is saying that I should work on it because marriage is for better/worse. I feel like he is only sorry because he was caught and that his apology can't be sincere when he just slept with someone a month ago. I understood my vows, but this is not what they meant by "For Better or For Worse". Am I wrong for filing for a divorce without counseling or should I kick him to the curb?

Sincerely
The Broken-Hearted Wife

Kick him to the curb!

FWIW, my response is "Toss the creep out"

But that's just me.

take care of you

I too recently found out similar things about my husband and we've been married for years. After searching out how to deal with it I found out he is a sex addict. The only thing I can do is work on myself because I can't change him. I'm hoping that I can keep building myself up until I feel emotionally strong enough to leave. It is terribly painful to live with it.

Bottom line, take care of you and be very good to yourself. If you stay with him, learn to detach from his behavior. It isn't a marriage if he is cheating. I don't have the finances to leave or divorce so I'm trying to live with it and take care of myself. It isn't easy but its a lot better than it was.
