Thank you for your input. I think it is the guilt eating away at me. I think about it every single day. I pray every night and ask for forgiveness but the guilt just stays with me. I wish that I could tell my husband but I know that it would ruin our marriage. It was a huge mistake that I made. But we have been married since I was 17 and he was the only one that I had ever been with. When we were seperated and I did that I really didn't think that we were going to get back together. I really never knew that the guilt would cause so much stress on me. Not one day goes by that I don't think about it and have anxiety. I think maybe I need to talk to a therapist that way I could at least open up to somebody. Sometimes I think that I wish I could go back and change things but then I think about how it has made me a better person and how it has made me see how much I love my husband and my life. I just wish this anxiety would go away.
ive had a same experience but in my sitition i think its just the guilt taking a toll all of my tests came back normal and i had to tell my husband and to be honest it went away well aybe this helped -wish the best :D
It kind of sounds like you are feeling anxiety about the sex you had when you were separated, and instead of letting yourself experience that anxiety for what it is (the fear your husband would leave you if he knew?) you have displaced it into a worry about STDs. It's easier to worry about some things than others, and something you can get tested for (the STDs) is simpler and more contained than something you can't control (your husband's reaction). That's where phobias come from -- a person focuses on something that it is possible to avoid so they won't have to address something bigger, vaguer and harder to deal with. Go see a therapist, and see what can be done. Talk about your feelings about your husband, and his possible reaction to what you did during the separation, and go from there. Don't get stuck in a phobic reaction to mythical STDs.
Good luck.
Your obsession with having a STD is obviously causing the anxiety and symptoms you are experiencing. You have seen a doctor, been told all is well, so now, the best thing you can do is forget it, I know it is hard, but, you must for your own peace of mind. If you can't then maybe a visit to a counselor would be of some help.
