Is it abuse for someone to not tell you they have an std but treat themselves but then they still continue to have unprotected sex with you? Flashback

So they treated themselves but were still having unprotected sex with you or treated themselves after? Because surely continuing to have unprotected sex just means the person will get reinfected if you’re carrying the std? But if someone knows they have an std and have unprotected sex with you I’d say they’re sick in their own mind x

Yes that is what happened. They treated themself but still continued to reinfect themselves also. The only hints I ever received were “I have something important to tell you” but never say anything about it. I considered symptoms to be yeast infection diagnosis

I’m ok. It was a domestic violence relationship but I’m trying understand what to call it. Like was that apart of the domestic abuse or just a person with no morals

Sounds a bit of both. More so sounds like a person who has no respect for anything or anyone including himself. Be glad you’re out that relationship x

Depends on where you are. If you were not told on purpose, it may be a misdemeanor or felony depending on a number of factors. And yes, it's cruel and abusive to deprive you of your ability to get treatment.

Whether or not it’s textbook definition abuse, it is horrible and not something you deserve to deal with. Screw them, you don’t deserve to be deceived in such a horrible way.
