Boyfriend having urethritis - is he cheating?
My boyfriend just told me that his doctor found some bacteria in his urine and that he's getting antibiotics. He said that I have to check myself too in case bacteria have spreaded to me when we had sex.
I asked him what it is and he said the doctor couldn't really tell because the urine sample just showed a tiny bit of increase in white blood cells and proteins. Nevertheless wants me to get checked up.
A year ago he suddenly had to get up every night in the early morning hours to pee and frequently during day time. Doctor checked his urine but couldn't find anything and said it's something many guys can have during the winter. Don't really know what.
He swears he didn't cheat and I actually do trust him. But what can be the reason for this infection then? Or should I assume he was cheating?

For what it's worth, many guys have urinary problems like this, without cheating!
That said, i is good that he asked you to get checked, too! That shows that he cares about you.
Do it! Find out if you have any problems! If you do, likely the doctor will tell you what the bacteria or whatever it is, is. If it ends up being an STD of some kind, that's a good indication that one of you MAY be cheating. BUT, some STDs don't show up for years. This may be something from someone that either of you had sex with, years ago! It does NOT necessarily mean that either of you IS cheating, now.
Get it checked and likely it will be nothing. At least you will KNOW!!
Best of luck!
