Boyfriend gave me an STI. Should I leave?

[Jazzyoung]

I’m so annoyed right now with him because this is the SECOND time getting it. The first time we were in a new relationship and I took that risk having sex and caught trich. He was sorry n went to the doctor and got medication. He has an extremely hard time taking pills and only took 5 pills out the 12 days. He stopped taking the rest of the medicine because he didn’t see symptoms! Now again we had sex and I caught it again because of his selfish lazy decision (he could’ve gotten the shot from a different doctor if he had trouble taking pills!!!) ! & didn't EVEN TELL ME he didn’t take all his meds. All he can say is sorry n offer to pay for my treatment and go find another doctor to give him a shot instead. I take my responsibility for taking that risk but I am so mad because this is the second time and my symptoms are WORSE than the first time! Right. Is I feel as I’m settling , like how could u be so DUMB.. 😑 I trusted him ! just so speechless

The first time you were caught off guard and it was not your fault. The 2nd time you knew better. Because you knew he had an STD, YOU should have made 100% certain he was taking the medicine. You cannot control what he does, but you could have told him you would not have sex again until you knew it was safe. That is on you. However, HE also knew after that first time. He KNEW their was a risk you could get it a 2nd time if he did not take his medicine. HE put YOU at risk because he chose his own convenience/inconvenience over your safety. That is, at best immature, at worst selfish. You do not need either one. You probably should leave. Also, he committed a crime. EVERY state in the United States has a law against spreading an STD to their partner without letting them know. Yes, you technically knew about the STD after the first time. HOWEVER, the two of you agreed he would get treatment for the STD. The question then becomes "Did he let you know BEFORE the 2nd time you had sex (resulting in your 2nd time with an STD) or AFTER?". If he told you BEFORE, then he did his part and you consented to the risk. If he told you AFTER, he was negligent and can be charged according to your state's laws. You DEFINITELY should leave, but taking legal action is an option and totally up to you.

Tbh you should've kept up with him because yea u took the risk an got that symptom an in you're head you might be thinking ok he'll take his treatments get refills an all so this won't happen again but as someone whose dating the guy who has something like that guy or girl
You just gotta keep up with something so important I have a girlfriend an I have bad asthma an I'll even feel like I don't need it anymore but even ik it's way too important for me to stop so pretty much let this be a lesson an leave the man

Of course you should leave and rather today than tomorrow.

If somebody cannot be trusted with something as simple as taking his medicine for YOUR sake, how will you ever be able to trust him with something really serious in life. He seems not to want to take you and your health seriously. There is only one reply to that and that is to place as much distance between you and him.

This is a typical example of a person with a total lack of responsibility. I know why I am not in a relation and don't want to be in one or to be intimate with anyone.

It might not be him being lazy, I don't know if u know this but most of us don't want our attachments to be "different" and there is a tremendous shame if u don't feel like it's normal. Even going to the dokter and talk about this stuff is enough to not go to the dokter for me.

Granted, he could be lazy. But it's not always what it seems. Go talk to him about it, i get your point and it's a valid one. Just talk to him about it, if my suspicions are true then he needs your support, not your anger.

Leave him. He's too dumb to know you have to take a full course of antibiotics.

At least teach him to take a small mouthfull of something nice, chew it until he feels the need to swallow, then pop in the pill and swallow. It works with some children!

LOL you wonder where girls find such guys whilst the responsible ones are single
