Ok so update from last night, I asked him calmly what the medication was for, I had the packet in my hand so he knew exactly what I was talking about.
I said I don't want to have a massive row, j will stay calm but I want you to be truthful and explain why you have these tablets.
He said years ago, around 2009 he had cold sores. I can't remember to be completely honest, I think he may have done from what I can recall from that long ago.
He has taken these tablets since when he feels them coming on, said he also gets itchy skin on arms and legs.
I got him to show me his Superdrug account and it showed orders for that medication going back to 2015.
He said he did go to the doctors back in 2009, they confirmed herpes virus so he knew what medication to order.
He said he has never had any issues around genital herpes. It's always been cold sores and itchy skin.
I said I find it strange that I have never seen or heard you say anything about cold sores or itchy skin, he said he wouldn't say because he felt embarrassed and would have to tell me about the medication and having the virus.
We have been together over 22 years, I have never had any symptoms of anything relating to an STI, so would sort of think if he had something surely I would have caught it by now?
Truthfully I don't know what to believe, I am going to take the day process what I have been told.
I will get myself checked out at a clinic for all the tests I can have just to put my own mind at rest.
So yes he said he has told me the truth. I have no evidence to suggest anything else but I just don't know, maybe more thinking time is needed
Thank you again for all your kind comments and help xxx
