I can't believe I caught this from oral sex with loyal hubby

[Guest Anonymous]

I am so upset. This is my first time posing on this site. I am so thankful I found it. My hubbby and I have been married 10 years. No affairs what so ever. Two weeks ago I started having terrible pain and blisters and went to my ob immediately. I was so sick all weekend. I cried every time I had to urinate. The dr gave me numbing cream but it was still unbearable. I also took valtrex for 10 days. I realized I got this by my hubby and I having oral sex and he had a ulcer in his mouth. I had no idea this was possible. I am devasted. And of course today I started to feel the same symptons I had two weeks ago. I immedately started back on the valtrex.. I just can't believe this I have never even sleep with anyone but my hubby. This just doesn't seem possible or fair. Just needed to vent.

i understand but still confused

i'm tring to understand this myself...here's my compact story...

I went to the doctor yesterday and was told i might have herpes. the first thought that went through my mind was, how? following that, i was scared to think that my partner for 8 years would cheat on me. the doctor assured me though, that having herpes does not mean your partner is cheating. they said it could be something that he or I cought prior to our relationship. since this is my body, i know i have not been unfaithful to him. the only sexual contact i had prior to him was one oral sex expeience, which was two years prior to our relationship, which makes it about 10 years ago. if indeed i've contracted herpes from that experience, why do i have the outbreak right now? is it normal to have an outbreak 10 years after being infected? i am confused....

i asked my partner and he denies it. i don't know what to believe. he got mad just because i even had the thought that he would cheat on me. right now i am battling this alone. i just want to understand how i got it.

if i contracted it from that experience, i want to know if it it common or likely that i don't show until now.

i don't know what to feel????

can't believe this

Hi April,

O I know so how you feel. Thankfully my hubby is fine since he feels like it is his fought I got this, but I hate this. I feel so normal and then all of a sudden I will think O my gosh I have herpes. It is freaking me out , but then I tell my self 1 out of 5 people have this and thank God it is not life threating. It just makes me feel so p.o. though. I hate it. But like my ob-gyn said thankfully it came from within our home and not in from the outside.
