No Judgement

Whether or not people participate in this kind of activity is no business of mine.  But, this husband is so uncaring towards his wife makes me wonder how much he REALLY loves her.  This is such a one-sided relationship, I feel sorry for the wife who is being presured by her husband to do something that she doesn't want to do.  What is he thinking?  If she could find the courage to stand up to him what would happen?  Would he leave her, or would he stay and resent her, or would he understand and respect her needs and wishes?  Whichever it may be, she would be in a better place and be able to hold her head high.  And, maybe, she would gain some self-respect and self-esteem.

Me Too

Quote From: mimi_s

depends where you live.  It can be changed as an assault. And don't forget civil liability.  If he knew, and you can get medical records to show that he did, and he passed it on... Well he's liable my dear! Seek advice from a lawyer in your state / province /  country...

Some people need to be reminded of their obligaiton to others...

allt eh best!

I recently found out that my husband of 24 years has had other sexual partners during our marriage.  I also found out that he has herpes ( I found his Valtrex).  I assumed he got it during his times of infidelity.  He finally told me that he was diagnosed with Herpes before we ever met!  I, of course, got tested and was found to be positive.  I was so angry at him that my first reaction was to kick him out.  After I calmed down I realised that if I got rid of him it would would mean that everything in my life would change and that all his responsibilties would fall onto my shoulders.  I allowed him to stay, but, I am so sad and angry.  I am trying to face the truth about myself, but I feel so abused and dirty and violated that my self esteem and confidence in myself has been shaken to the core.  I can hardly stand to look at him,  The fact of the matter is that I am begining to hate him, and when I look at myself, I hate what I see too.  I don't know how this situation can be resolved because I am stuck in this place now and can't see a way to move ahead.  How can anybody deal with such betrayal and manage to come out of it whole?

Embarassing Sex Question

I've been married for 24 years.  Last year my husband revealed that he has herpes.  He has had it since before he met me.  Inspite of all the emotional upheavel this has caused, I have decided to stay with him and keep our household intact for the present.  I have tested positive for this STD.  I would like to know if   there could be any more damage done if I have unprotected sex with him, or should he wear a condom?

What Makes This O.K.?

Seems to me this woman is missing the point.  She's making excuses for her behavior.  Is it really o k to choose a bad behavior because you think that you are not getting what you want (or think you need)?  I believe that there are so many  other choices available to her that wouldn't hurt the partner.  Such as counselling or talking it thru with her husband.  Why did she have to choose a behavior that could devistate someone?  Is there really a good reason to hurt the person that love's you?  No excuse is acceptable.  Why do people think that it's ok to do this kind of thing as long as they have a "good" excuse? This is childish and narcisistic.  It just shows that she thinks the world revolves around her and her needs and wants.  Grow up and take responsibility for your behavior.
