So I’ve been with my husband for 10 years, married for 9. I have been wanting a divorce for 4 years, but has been difficult given he keeps wanting to try and take my kids, etc. well we got into an argument a few weeks ago and he comes up out of the blue and states that he has HSV-2. I am appalled! He stated that he was hoping there would eventually be a cure and that he was waiting for the right time to tell me. I told him the right time would have been before we had sex and before we signed a marriage certificate. So I decided to get tested, because a little over a year ago I had some blisters that popped up on my side. Went to the doctor and they said it was shingles. Gave me meds(of which are the same meds they give you for HSV) and I isolated that area, etc. well it came back 4 times within a 6 month period. My doctor said that it may not be shingles, to come get the fluid in the blisters tested if I break out again. Well I never got any more blisters. Fast forward to now…. I get a pull std/sti panel from my doctor through a blood test and the test came back positive for HSV-2!!! I tell my husband while in tears and he tell me, “well you knew the risks of having sec” and “it’s not that bad to have it” etc… WTF!!! I married him and at that point I would have assumed that if you had some sort of disease or infection, etc, that you would tell your partner! He said he chose not to tell me, because he was afraid I’d leave him. So now I feel like I had been trapped into a relationship that I otherwise may not have stayed! I feel like I didn’t get a choice! We had a child together, and built a life out of lies! More lies than just this!!!! I’m curious how others would feel about this situation. I know I can sue for this, and definitely pushing for divorce now, and going to use this as leverage. If he doesn’t do this amicably, then I’m going to pursue charges….
