I am certain that my husband was not having an extra-marital affair to have contracted this disease, so it only leaves me to have contracted it by cheating. I should note that I did have chlamydia several years before getting married, and was treated for it. I know at that point, it was gone, and I showed no symptoms.

>I honestly do not have the answer to this, and I can't blame him for not believing me, as it only makes sense that I did. Is it possible that I contracted it at some point before being with my husband, and showed no symptoms for a period of 2plus years? Is there any possible explanation?
