I know it's hard to believe. i am not a perfect husband but i am confident that i did not had any extramarital affair to anyone when my wife got infected by herpes. she was then few months after giving birth to our 2nd baby. Just by the look the female doctor gave me, she was blaming me for what happened without any words. i am still now seeking any advice because this thing always keep haunting me because i know that i did not touch any other woman except my wife that could cause her to get sick. i'm not asking for any sympathy from anyone. i just need some explanation if there is possible way that my wife may have contracted such decease. i know my wife well so she's out of the question. hope you give some enlightenment. tia.

    It can take years to show symptoms sometimes. I've done a lot of research about herpes. It can be in someone's system for years without being noticed and no symptoms. You or her could have had it without knowing. I'd get checked yourself at least as well.

    It is possible to have it for years without knowing.. I've been with my husband for 17 years and had my first outbreak in august and haven't been with anyone else and neither has he.. it is crazy to think that it can lay dormant for this many years but it can

      hi jessica93013, jeeezzz, this dormant type is sure scary. i never had an outbreak though. this could cause a lot of trouble in marriage. good luck to both of you. hope everything turns ok.

    She could've had it for the longest and never knew.
