Yup, it was HARD for me too. Although it was something different, and I had no signs, it can become quite serious. I have surgery coming up next month. I hate to think about it and take off work because I do know it came from xh- my H at the time!!!
But I had the same concern as you.. how will this affect me in the future? I feel like I still have a lot of life left in me, as I am sure you do too. I am 37 and will be an empty nester in 5 years. I don't want my life to be over because of the mistakes my xh has made.
I guess that's where the work comes in. I know we will both be OK, with our physical health. It sounds like you just need to stay healthy and take precautions. Hopefully after my surgery, it will be over. But, it is a lot to overcome. It makes you feel weird, dirty, and damaged. OK, maybe that is me, and I am not trying to make you feel bad! The truth is, it is part of life, I guess. Things happen.
This is just something else we will get through and get over. Don't let it bring you down. Things will be OK. As long as we make it that way.
