Just ripped apart

Just found out on yesterday that I have herpes. Wow what a very hard hit for me. I don't know what to think are feel. I never thought in my entire life that I would be face with something like this. To make even worst I contracted it from my husband of three years. Right now I can't even think. If their is anyone out their that have contracted herpes in their marriage are have been married and contracted herpes PLEASE HELP ME DEAL WITH THIS. I don't now what to do. So hurt right now

It is very hurtful situation, mainly when it comes from a person that you trust the most, but at this time, the very important thing is to take care of this issue. Do not waste your energy to blame him, concentrate to get better as soon as you can. Stay strong and God bless you.

I got herpes from my fiance before we were married. He admitted that he went to a conference and had sex and got it there. However I think it is possible (I don't know what the odds are.) That your husband was a carrier all a long and didn't know it..................
It gets easier with time and support.

its possible that he had been a carrier all along and didnt know. its possible for anyone to not show symptoms. as hard as it is now it will get easier. i was diagnosed when i was 18 years old when i found out that my boyfriend of a year had cheated on me and also gotten me and his lover pregnant at the same time. talk about heartbreak. a year later i still have difficulties accepting but i try to live my life as normal as i can and remind myself that i will get stronger. youre strong just believe

lots of love hugs and kiseses, Megs .

I contracted herpes from my husband as well. He was a carrier, knew it, and didn't tell me. That was difficult to come to terms with, not to mention facing the reality of having herpes. I cried for a week after I was diagnosed. I felt like my life was over. Fortunately, I haven't had frequent outbreaks, but when my marriage has had more downs than ups, I feel depressed, because I feel like I'm stuck with him, as I have this disease. Over time, it does get easier, especially if ob are few and far between. Hugs to you!

Hi Hope,

I can't begin to imagine marrying a person only to discover they lied about something like this. My chin is on the floor... I am wondering why he just didn't tell you? I bet you would have married him regardless, especially if he got the virus before you began your relationship.

I know how it is to feel trapped in a marriage. Having kids make things even more complicated. Hang in there, I understand. Feel to to post anytime you need to vent.
