Hello. I posted on here yesterday and I’m still very anxious about my current situation. Here for some advice as to how to handle it.
So Me and my boyfriend have been in a relationship for a year now and haven’t really done anything. Over the weekend we tried anal and the day after, I started bleeding in my urine. It was light at first and went away then came back darker today. I spoke to the doctor today and she suggested to get tested for chlamydia.
I told my bf about this and he was stressed about it too. He said it definitely could not have been from him. There are two people here, me and him. He then mumbled something about me sleeping about or something. I was really upset, I have never been with anybody apart from him. This is my first ever relationship and first time doing that. He on the other hand had had a few gfs in the past. He said it’s not chlamydia and told me to not mention it again . He said only people who sleeps about catch it.
That’s not true, it can stay in your body for years without having symptoms. It became a I blame you, he blame me sort of thing- like he was like it’s not from me so must be you, and I was like I’ve never been with anyone in my life so must be you….
He then said I’m jumping to conclusions without the results. We were safe, pill and condom and in a monogamous relationship and waited a year to do something like this, I just Don’t understand why this has happened.
Anybody able to provide some advice as to how to handle this? It’s put a strain on both of us…
LalaGo to the doctor and get tested. Stop arguing about it until you have the facts. Easy.
KimDo you have your period? Sometimes on the first day or two of mine when I go to pee there is a bit of blood if my flow is a bit heavy. I’d get tested anyway if I was you if that’s what your Dr suggested. Your boyfriend isn’t a Dr so he can’t possibly know what is causing the bleeding. Better to be on the safe side and know what you’re dealing with so you’ll know if it’s anything to worry about or not.
T from NYWhy are you asking for advice when you don’t even know if you have chlamydia yet?
NewbieIm sorry but i dont think you are ready for a relationship. First of all, youre so paranoid about getting pregnant you go for anal sex. Of course thats painful and of course that can hurt and bleed. There a thousand of bloodvessels that can easily burst. Since the vagina is actually build to have sed with, you wont have that problem. Although you can still bleed after sex. Secondly you accuse him of having chlamydia without you being tested or knowing you have it. Honestly that sounds pretty nuts and i think this puts a strain on your relationship. I say the change is pretty slim btw. There is a thing called the internet that might work for you here, but go for decent sites.
LaurelLook, I came here for a bit of advice/ support during a time of worry and yeah I may not be as experienced as you guys, but yous sound really harsh. It’s easier said than done get tested and stop arguing about it. Of course it’s easy, it’s not happening to you.
Even say I am not ready for a relationship. You don’t know me or what I’ve been through. I used to like this site, now it’s just a bunch of boring people criticising and commenting on how we should or shouldn’t act as ladies. Whatever
LaneLaurel, you are putting the cart way before the horse. I understand you’re freaking out right now but this is not the way to handle difficult issues. Until you absolutely know for certain what it is, its foolish to engage in a tit-for-tat. This is where the adage “Pick your battles very carefully” comes in because if you keep picking battles without verifiable proof or facts it slowly chips away at the relationship until there is nothing left but a bloody battlefield.
You must be young or don’t have the experience to communicate effectively yet which is why many of the ‘older/seasoned folks’ are responding the way they are. In these types of circumstances its always BEST to have ‘all the facts’ before engaging. Your BF is right, until you know for sure, its premature to be accusing him of anything; whereas if you are wrong I hope you are mature enough to admit it and apologize to him.
Do you have an appointment? If yes, then wait until you have the results (aka ‘facts’) before discussing anything further with your BF.
JnLLaurel, people can only give advice based on what you’re saying.
What you’re saying is that your doctor suggested a test for chlamydia. Then you’re saying that before even having the test results… before even taking the test!!… this has turned into an accusation against your boyfriend. That’s wild. You don’t even know what’s going on medically yet, but now your boyfriend is getting dragged over this.
I get that you’re freaked-out, but the advice IS to go get the test done, and stop blowing up the situation with him until you have answers.
You’re getting advice that seems harsh because we’re trying to talk you down from the worry and overthinking, NOT feed into it. It’s meant to snap you into a different mode of thinking.
JarcomAnd that’s why you ask anyone to get tested for STDs before you do anything.
At least I doEmilyYou got good advice here. Get tested. In the future, don’t make assumptions and then start a fight based on your assumptions. Good luck. Hope it goes well with your health.
AnnaLaurel,
Your boyfriend’s opinion about how only promiscuous people catch STD’s is very misguided. STD’s can happen in a monogamous relationship too and precisely because a lot of people are often asymptomatic. It happened to me at the beginning of a serious relationship and we handled it like adults. It was not the end of the world, just frustrating because of the doctors appts/testing/antibiotics involved and having to stay away from each other for a while. We are still together though. If either one of you turns out to be positive, I hope your boyfriend can stop being so judgmental and you can move forward together. Good luck! -
