Trich is an STD.
Sounds like OP has been with her husband long enough that if it predated the relationship she’d have had serious health consequences of trich (infertility, preterm labor)
So it’s probably unfortunately her husband having an affair

For more information on trich - see this: https://www.health.ny.gov/publications/3839/

more information showing you can get it from a towel.

https://www.healthline.com/health/how-can-you-get-trichomoniasis-if-no-one-cheats

trichomoniasis can be treated NON SEXUALLY

Article says it can be spread non-sexually by:

“ . . . . chance that you or your partner developed it from something nonsexual, such as:

Toilets. Trichomoniasis can be picked up from a toilet seat if it’s damp. Using an outdoor toilet may be an added risk, since it puts you in closer contact with others’ urine and feces.

Shared baths. In one studyTrusted Source from Zambia, the parasite spread through bathwater that was used by multiple girls.

Public pools. The parasite can spread if the water in the pool isn’t cleaned.

Clothing or towels. It’s possible to spread the parasite if you share damp clothing or towels with someone.”

Oh dear. I’ve had that when celibate. Had it once when a virgin. It’s not just sexually transmitted.

Do you know how you got it? Please share more as this may save OPs marriage.

I've posted this about 100 times on this site but you can get it from a towel and I do know a couple that thought each other cheated because they had this STI.

What was crazy is the doctor was like, yea somebody cheated.

Then the dad cried at his son's pediatrician appointment, and he told the pediatrician what was going on and the pediatrician is like dude do you throw a towel on the floor and reuse it, that's the problem... and if you use the towel to wipe then have s@x again.

Nobody cheated.

Did not happen.

HA. This is the old 'got in a hot tub' stupidity. You aren't getting STDs from towels. It is the longest shot out there.

What I see are a whole lot of guilty people or people in complete denial or a whole lot of people willing to believe the most absurd scenario.

I work in the field. Nobody is getting STIs from towels that dropped on the floor. Omg.

Yes they do and this is why I told OP you can’t trust “Dr/nurse” in the field because most of you are ignorant.

If you “work in the field” and don’t know that you can get this many ways youre Daf.

Trich lives only for 45 minutes on wet surfaces outside human body. So while theoretically possible he got it in a gym, very few people use someone's wet towels, sit with their naked genitalia on dirty toilets etc. I would say, chances are 99.9% that he cheated

Do not mention this to dh yet. You need more info and to have a plan before you utter a word.

WTF?! No!

What DID HE SAY OP? If OP knows she didn't bring anything home there is only one other person here who could have. WHAT DOES HE SAY?!

We have been quite detached and I've been unhappy but this has really taken me by surprise. We share a child who is 5. What would you do? My DH is generally dismissive and in denial on most things so I imagine he'll gaslit me and deny it when I broach the topic. It's a nightmare to think of co parenting and sharing my time with my child. Can I ask him to move out? Should I call a divorce lawyer before even bringing it up? There is no chance of reconciliation as far as im concerned.

And to preempt what I know at least one person will say, yes I know and am aware I need to now get a full panel std test. Believe me, I know.

Have you gotten tested for TV (Trich) when you’ve had “yeast infections” previously? Maybe your “yeast infections” have always been TV and your husband had nothing to do with it. Even if he’s infected he might well have zero symptoms.

A sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite.
Trichomoniasis is among the most common sexually transmitted infections. Risk factors include multiple sexual partners and not using condoms during sex.

And dirty towels

And the occasional tractor seat.

Maybe it was the burgundy washcloth 😜

OP here. I still haven't broached the subject. I'm out of town for work and trying to reach out to divorce lawyers while I wait for my OB appt and learn more from real docs about how one could get TV from tractor seats. I won't bring it up though until after I talk to this next doc.

I had a partner who came back positive for gonorrhea and became very upset. She got tested after suffering from what seemed like a very painful UTI. We had been on a break and I had slept with other women during the break, so we both figured I got gonorrhea from. One of them. She had no symptoms before we got back together.

Then something unexpected happened. I tested negative! We never knew whether I had a false negative or she had a false positive. Obviously one of the tests was wrong.

Men are often carriers - maybe you had it still on your genitalia from other women when you slept with her , but it didn’t really stay in your body

Your STD is the most curable and not something you can easily go after in a divorce.

I think you're missing the point. It's more about trust and respect, not about what goodies she could get through divorce.

If neither of you ever make out or have sex with a third person, you can skip all these diseases for decades. I’m living proof and I’m middle aged. If I had results come back like OP just did, I’d be talking to the attorney along with the doctor and providing my medical records to the judge.

Do you think there could that sort of explanation?

Herpes is tricky. I have ben married 20 years and I get tested yearly for STDs. My wife has the cold sore herpes and yet I still don't have it...
