Hi Julie. Glad you are being positive about your health and taking control of it. I'm sorry about the std thing. Sounds a lot like mine. Went for a routine check up.... and boy was I surprised when they called me the following week! She said stress made it worse... so... gotcha there.
It is horrific news. To be so betrayed by your h... in every way. Ugh. I didn't have signs, but luckily I went for my check-up. I had to have surgery.
At the time, I hadn't been speaking w h at all. Yet, ironically, I felt morally obligated to tell him. I sent an email. It was short and do the point. Not hateful... just factual. I did not receive a response. Nothing. I didn't expect to. However, a little while later when my s found out (too long to explain), that's when I heard from xh. It was the monster which I'd thought he'd outgrown. Yet this monster was quite vindictive and horrific.
Later he acknowledged it... and apologized. But, I doubt he'd acknowledge it at this point!
Not trying to hijack, just letting you know... in my experience, he didn't take it so well. Yet, keeping it to the point and factual (no emotions) didn't give him room to do or say anything. And it was dead silent.
So glad I handled it that way. Not one bit emotional (that he saw). I let him sit with it.
