Here is some information for you regarding coldsores:
There are two types - Type 1 usually causes oral herpes, or cold sores. Type 2 usually causes genital herpes. Although both type 1 and type 2 viruses can infect oral tissues, more than 95 percent of recurrent fever blister outbreaks are caused by the type 1 virus. Cold sores are one of the most common disorders of the mouth.
Most people will have come into contact with the virus between the ages of three and five but will not show any symptoms until after puberty.
Approximately 80 per cent of the adult population have antibodies against HSV-1 in their blood.
Around 25 per cent of the adult population have antibodies against HSV-2.
It might be a situation that your S does not have the antibodies and would have contracted it anyway.
Try not to be too harsh on your wife, she needs all the compassion you can give at this time - she probably feels dreadful as it is, giving it to you, and perhaps she didn't give it to your S
