I finally went and had all my STD, and AIDS test done. This was (to say the least) very scary. Everything was negative... Wheww... My husband was honestly not sure what he would do if something turned out to be positive.
I can't believe how lucky I am, after so many stupid mistakes. There are many things I will attempt to forvive myself for, but if I had made my husband sick, well that would be unforgivable. I feel like I have been given another chance. I know this is only a small step in the long journey my H and I will be taking to recover from my A.
But it's a step, and I'm happy to embrace anything that will help us to heal. Posts: 61 | Registered: Jul 2012 |

My WW just got tested for STD's and everything was negative.
It is amazing to me that I felt it was great news that my WW did not have any STD's.
What has happened in my world when the fact that my marriage partner of 22 years is STD free makes me happy? It is a sad reality! Me - BH (46)

I know the feeling and I'm happy for your outcome.
Take this as the gift that it is and use what you're learning to move forward! Anyone can love a rose, but it takes a great deal to love a leaf. Its ordinary to love the beautiful, but its really beautiful to love the ordinary. Posts: 25133 | Registered: Sep 2007 |

That's a good step.
Just a reminder (and I'm sure your doc shared this too), you will need to have your tests repeated in 3-6 months- just to be sure. Me: BW, 39.......Him: FWH, 39
D-day: 3-22-10
DS1: 11, DS2: due 11/30/12
Status: R going well

Thank you all for the support.
fighting2survive,
I haven't been with the OM in over 8 month. I'm thinking that should be enough time to have shown something... I hope.. Posts: 61 | Registered: Jul 2012 |
