Bacterial Vaginosis?

I see my hubby every 8 weeks or so as he's in the US military. I went to see him last week and we noticed when making love a strong fishy smell. I went to the gp yesterday and she said I have a bacterial infection and anything could have caused it from not having sex for a while to the change of soap. My hubby told me that he's had some discharge too so has been to the gp also. He was really off with me last night as he felt embarrassed going to the gp, which I also had to do and without being crude had to lie on the bed with my legs open to be checked. I feel terrible how he spoke to me and feel dirty. I did ask him if he thought I'd been unfaithful cos that's the last thing I'd be. He said no, but it still doesn't stop me wondering if that's what he's thinking. I do miss him terribly which doesn't make me feel any better. Should I just take his moods with a pinch of salt as it's really bothering me

i wouldn't put up with the crap that he's putting out. just b/c you had a infection doesn't mean that you've been unfaithful. it's normal for EVERY woman to have an infection once in her lifetime. other reasons could include, the food you eat, stress, etc. the last thing you should feel is dirty.

honey no one can advise you on this. Generally a wife is right when she suspects her man. Get proof first, and think what are you going to do about it.
I suspect he's feeling a bit out of sorts because he's got a problem with his packet. I think blokes aren't as good with problems they have downstairs as women are, we have far more problems in general than them (thrush, BV, cystitis etc), not to mention periods so we're more used to having to deal with it's off days. I think once he's either been treated or got the all-clear he'll be back to his usual self. Having said that, I think he owes you an apology- there's loads of ways you can get BV and there's no need for him to be a jerk with you just because he's ignorant of things like that. Once it's all over, you'll have had an uncomfortable time at the dr's and he'll have had an uncomfortable time at the dr's, you'll both have been treated and you'll both be clear, and that'll be the end of it. Women get infections like BV, and so do blokes. He just shouldn't throw his toys out of the pram over a normal, albeit unpleasant, fact of life and should have the decency to apologise for his childish behaviour. A pinch of salt til he's finished sulking and then you ask for an apology.
