I did the home remedies because I read online that antibiotics can make it worse and that freaked me out (and I live in the Caribbean were our need to do things natural is almost OCD lol). But yea, I figured since it came back, I need to go to the doctor and get it checked out. As for him cheating, no I'm not mad about it anymore but I just always wondered if that is what caused it in the first place because i noticed a lot of women wondering if that was possible. We're trying to get pregnant so no to the condoms but thanks for suggesting I have him take the prescription too..never would have considered that...I did not know that he could pass it back once I got rid of it.
Oh, where I said "If she gave it to her partner," I meant you, not the other woman. In other words, if you had BV and passed it to him, then took your pills, he could still pass it back to you if he does not take his pills.
If you have only been doing home remedies, what makes you certain it is BV? If you were properly diagnosed by a doctor, why didn't you take the antibiotics? (My doctor always has the partner take the same full course of antibiotics at the same time, so the man and woman don't pass the BV back and forth. There is little point in only one person getting rid of it, if she gave it to her partner he could then turn around and give it back to her.)
Anyway, you are asking if his lack of self control "caused this torment somehow." If you're still mad at him for cheating on you, just be mad at him. What caused the torment in the first place is kind of lost in the past at this point, but what is continuing to cause this torment is your refusal to go get the appropriate diagnosis and antibiotic from your doctor and get rid of the infection once and for all.
BV is not likely to go away with home remedies, and it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease. PID can cause infertility. See your doc, get swabbed, find out for sure what you have got, take all your pills as long as prescribed, and if the two of you are not using condoms, or even if you are, ask for an identical prescription for him.
