[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is an adult and got an easily curable illness that she has taken care of. It isn’t something to hide or tell. You know your husband won’t treat it that way, from your post, so I wouldn’t tell him. Your daughter can if she wants. But which part would add to his stress? The fact that she is sexually active (not surprising for an 18 year old who had a relationship) or that she got an infection? [b]The infection is a non-issue. Treated, done, doesn’t need talking about any more than say, toenail fungus caught at the gym (which actually is super hard to cure).[/b][/quote]

Huh?  Clearly she was not using condoms.  She got an STI.  Next time it could be HIV or herpes or hepatitis.  
It's not a "toenail fungus.".  [/quote]

You can get chlamydia using condoms.[/quote]

Also you can get it by oral sex.  It’s a common infection.  She’s going off to live independently where she will meet plenty of new people all in her age range.  You can help her with education and how to prevent this and other problems.  That’s about it though.  [b]Keep it a conversation just between you and her and she will stay open to telling you things, maybe[/b]. [/quote]
The OP said her daughter doesn’t care one way or the other if she tells him. 
My teenage girls don’t care that their dad knows, they just want to avoid the conversation. I would assume it’s similar if the daughter doesn’t care and is telling a bunch of friends (I also agree OP she should keep it to herself). He’s the parent too - I don’t understand why you wouldn’t share this info with your spouse unless the child asked you not to or the spouse wouldn’t handle it well (like OPs situation). [/quote]
