How do I tell him?

After my boyfriend and I split, I found out he wasnt as great as I thought he was. I went to the doctor and was told I had chlamydia. He was the only guy I was sleeping with. I dont even think he knows that he has it. My std is gone now, but hes probably still running around with it. My fear is that when i tell him i got it from him he will turn it around and say i gave it to him. I dont want him to ruin my reputation with our family and friends. What do i do?

    Your split right? Well, forget him. He didn't worry about telling you he had it! And he knows he has something if he doesn't know its chlamydia. A man's symptom is that it itches his penis when he pees. So, now when you go pee you can think of his pain and laugh. =)

    I am a male nurse 1st off. The vast majority of STDs are asymptomatic in females, but on the other hand a male knows if something 'just isn't right with Mr. Happy'. Women have menstrual cramps and bleeding, discharge, and other misc female problems going on constantly. Now, with that being said, any discharge, burning or any other irregularity with a man is a big warning sign. Anyways, tell him as soon as possible so he won't spread it any further. I hope that answers your question.

    Honestly since it's not fatal or more serious like Herpes or Warts, I would go ahead and move forward. If you think he might blame you, then he might and rumors and gossip might start to spread. I'm sure if he has another girl she'll bring it to his attention. Let another girl do the dirty work of going through that. I would move on about my business in silence and let his cheating a&$ deal with it. Protect your rep rather than his ego. And now you know his patterns and character, he's not trusting find you someone else and take care of yourself.

    send him an annonymous letter somehow saying he better get checked. That way you will clear your conscious and he wont know for sure u sent it or not. deny deny deny. and if he tells u he has it and u better get checked u can always lie and say u dont...or didnt. by the way...thank god it was only an std that u could clear up with meds... you were lucky!

    First get the facts from your O.B. then if in your favor , arrange to meet in person and then with nothing but the facts let him have it and watch his face turn red with shame cause chances are he already knew. your reputation is a state of mind witch you control, nothing & no one should ever influence your state of!

    Take yourself out of the equation. Think of all those "innocent" girls that he is infecting. Do the right thing and tell him directly. Its a matter of public health.

    my advice would be don't tell him until he finds out..pretend you never had it and when he says you are the only one i slpet with be like "oh i had no idea i dont think i have it" and be like we can even go to the doctor and check ill prove it to you =] ok maybe my advice is gay but it might work?

    It's morally right to tell him to go get tested. He is probably out there infecting other innocent people.

    i might the only one that is mean enough to tell u this but screw everyone else in this world because u have to crush evryone else to get to the top so who cares if sum people get it it's not ur fault they couldn't close their legs before they checked ......

    don't worry about it if you got rid of it and you weren't with anybody else. He probably knows already and doesn't care
