So my girlfriend wants me to take meds for chlamydia

[Anonymous]

The trust issue is 'when' she got it. But Internet says there is no expiration date on chlamydia so no smoking gun.

If she hasn't otherwise given you reason not to trust her, this shouldn't do it either. One of the reasons chlamydia is such a risk to women is that it can be completely symptom-free while it's wrecking havoc on your reproductive system.

Why did she suddenly get tested for it now? Is she going on the pill?

WTF? Another argument you won't win? Are you looking for a reason to break up with her? If you don't like her and don't trust her, just end it. You don't need cheating to justify it.

Symptoms showed up.

Uh, I was joking. Is this a humor-free forum?

OK. With women, it generally takes a while and sometimes something else going on to show up. Unfortunately there is no way to know when she was infected.

I can understand this sitting "wrong". Honestly I think if this were a woman posting about her BF the reaction would be different.

Gut instinct OP.. what is it telling you?

Did she go out drinking with the girls and bareback some guy in the bathroom at the bar?

Definitely not from you? Why? Were you a virgin when you first had sex with your GF and have been faithful ever since?

Anyway, consider that your GF told you about it when she could have just let it go. She is getting cleared of it and so should you.

Not sure what answers you were looking for on the internet that you didn't find...there are thousands of sources on this subject. Here are a couple...

I'm suspicious obviously. Didn't think this was something I had to worry about.

The thing is.. how does she know she has it? Docs don't test women for it unless they ask to, or they are pregnant (or sexual assault.. but taht's a different story).

My GYN runs a full STD panel every year at my eval, simply because many things can have a long "incubation" period and something from years ago can finally decide to show itself.

Certainly lots of info about chlamydia. Not so much the timing issue I'm focused on.

Very suspicious that symptoms suddenly show up like that, if she's supposedly had it for years.

She cheated. Plain and simple. She's using the whole "must have gotten it from a tractor" ploy on you.
