I think he might have given me an STD

Things between DH and I haven't been great for over a year. He's quiet, snappy and uses his phone excessively. It feels like he's completely detached from the DC and I but he over compensates by telling me how much he loves me and how wonderful I am far too often to sound sincere.

Our youngest was born a year ago and we made the effort to go out for a couple of hours for DHs birthday in Feb. We DTD for the first time in about ten months. For the past three weeks I've had loads of greeny yellow sticky cervical mucus looking discharge which I never ever had before we DTD. I thought at first that I might be pregnant, but I'm not. My tummy feels like I had a permanent stitch and I generally feel run down.

He's been out with friends several times in the past ten months, he's worked extra days but then the money never seems to materialise to make a difference to our lives and as I mentioned before, he's on his phone loads.

I caught him flirting via his phone in the early days and when I was pregnant he used to pester me for sex and tell me how desperate he was because I was the only one who could satisfy him, he insisted he hated porn. Then I discovered he was masterbating to it daily, even sneaking off during the day. He was (is?) very highly sexed. He'd get aroused even if I only brushed past him and would often send me intimate photos etc. I can't believe he's gone ten months with nothing.

Could these be symptoms of an STD or am I worrying over nothing?

Good luck on Friday, anyway. At least - even if you have contracted something - you'll know and can have it treated.

BrixtonQueen · 17/03/2016 23:54

Do you have a relative who could lend you enough money to give you six months rent up front? A landlord might take that instead of a reference from a job?

Good luck on Friday OP!

VinceNoirLovesHowardMoon · 18/03/2016 02:03

Thinking of you OP,

Hope things aren't as bad as would seem. Flowers

AddictedtoGreys · 18/03/2016 08:38

Good luck OP Thanks

Northumberlandlass · 18/03/2016 08:39

Just read your thread Cleo. So sorry you are going through this. Hope today is ok

wonkylampshade · 18/03/2016 08:55

Good luck today.

You're married, so if he has given you something and you divorce him, you'd be entitled to a share of whatever joint assets you have, and a share of future earnings I think. He would have to pay maintenance to you too.

Thanks

Good luck today. I really hope he has not been so selfish and risked your health. Flowers for you

ThisisMrsNicolaHicklin · 18/03/2016 10:10

Good luck, OP.

TheHobbitMum · 18/03/2016 10:18

Pinkheart5915 · 18/03/2016 12:36

Hope today was ok for you.

It is always better to get checked out for these things

Northumberlandlass · 18/03/2016 16:09

Hey Cleo, I have been thinking about you. Hope you are ok.

ConkersDontScareSpiders · 18/03/2016 17:47

Just came on to see how op was...hope you are ok.

MilkshakeMonkey · 18/03/2016 18:32

Hope things went ok today at clinic. When do you get the results?

Have you thought what you will do if they come back negative? You can't carry on wondering why he's snappy, disinterested etc. He could have still been unfaithful.
Take care x

itsbegginingtolook · 18/03/2016 18:57

How did it go

CrazyMary · 18/03/2016 23:33

Thinking of you Cleo and glad today is over you. Hopefully it went well and you are ok Flowers x

annabananaroo · 21/03/2016 13:47

I keep checking in to see if Cleo has updated as I can't stop thinking about this thread. I hope you're ok Cleo and you're just busy rather than having found out something upsetting (delurking to offer support)

HyacinthBouquetNo1 · 21/03/2016 15:25

I wondered if maybe she is awaiting results? I don't know about GUM clinics but surely any tests take time to come back?

JustCleo · 21/03/2016 15:30

Thanks for your support everyone. I had to cancel the appointment as baby has chicken pox. I have a new one on Thursday. I'm not having pain anymore but still bloating and discharge.

annabananaroo · 21/03/2016 15:50

Sorry to hear that Cleo - it never rains but it pours, eh? I hope the little one gets well soon and you feel better soon too. Hope Thursday comes quickly for you!

Buzzardbird · 21/03/2016 16:00

Fingers crossed you're ok.

whatevva · 22/03/2016 10:43

Thinking of you.

Don't forget that the symptoms might go away, but you will still need to go and have the tests and treatment (if they come back with something).
