About four weeks ago I started getting symptoms similar to a urine infection (burning sensation when urinating and unusual discharge) so I went to my GP and they took swabs. I had a letter in the post a week letter confirming I was positive for Chlamydia- I was so shocked and embarrassed. I have been with my partner for 6 years and have been faithful throughout. I confronted him and he admitted to having two night stands before we moved in together, 2 years ago. I have been researching and spoken to sexual health specialists, and they say Chlamydia is a silent infection where many women have this for years without knowing. However I started with symptoms about a month ago, and research states if you do show symptoms it is likely you have been exposed to the infection between 1-3 weeks.
Because there are no facts on when I caught the STI I am struggling to decide whether he is telling the truth about giving it me 2 years ago. The fact is he has been unfaithful either way. Hope someone can help, thanks.

I feel for you, the betrayal almost makes it worse than the infection. Thing is as they say you can't really tell - though you know your body.
I can only give my opinion not really an answer, but once a seed of doubt / mistrust has been planted. It's very hard to move forward. Not impossible but I hope your partner is assuring you and trying to win you over.
Thank you for your reply. Yes that's exactly it, he most definitely is sorry for his actions and I am not letting it go easily, but I haven't made a decision yet. At least now everything is out in the open.
I wouldn't trip on him you could've had it for awhile. Important factor tho is regardless he has to go to the doctor's too or you are just going to give it to each other over and over again. Remember it can cause other problems if you have this for a long time. Take care of it asap both of you.
