Today, my boyfriend proposed. Two hours later I get a text from my ex announcing he has just been diagnosed with chlamydia. I now have to explain this to my fiancé. FML

1) He's your ex 2) He has an STD 3) He could have given it to you while you were together It seems pretty damned easy to explain unless I'm missing a step... 4) You're still sleeping with him

I think you forgot to add the part where he called off the engagement and the part where your single again, to your post.

A person with chlamydia will find out, at the most, 2 weeks. Most people find out within 5-7 days. It is not an STD that lies dormant like HPV or Herpes does. No sympathy for cheaters. If you've only been going out with your boyfriend for that short amount of time you shouldn't be engaged already. If you haven't been with your ex since you've been with your new fiance and it's been more than 2wks then you have nothing to worry about.

After reading all these comments and them reviewing the cdc website on it, you clearly were one if the few doing any fact checking. This is a clear YDI.

Ding her please site your sources saying it lies dormant. Mine source comes from the cdc website. Thank you. So OP, you deserve this for a) cheating on your now fiance b) not getting tested between sexual partners or c) for not doing your research on stds

My husband is a Navy corpsman and I know he has a lot of experience with giving these kinds of results to Marines and probably other corpsman as well so I asked him. I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt so hopefully OP just doesn't realize it's not a dormant STD and the ex is lying. I can't stand cheaters.

Don't worry just get the medication and it goes away could of been worse like HIV or herpes

Well how do you even know you got it? Assuming there was quite a bit of time between your relationship with him and getting proposed to by another guy so wouldn't hasn't noticed symptoms before. you should get tested and if positive tell him. Most likey he has gotten it too

I agree with twelve, if you screwed your ex while with your current fiance you deserve a c**t punch, if you rushed headlong into a relationship like that your stupid, and if it has been a while and you cant tell if your infected you have some issues. Time.to reevaluate your mental capabilities

And to the people 'it sometimes does show symptoms' that is less than 15% of the time, thats like saying rabies sometimes won't kill you for up to a year, its highly unlikely.

This really sounds like u were with ur ex recently, so ummm ur a slutty bitch and probably shouldnt get married
