should i leave?

I have been with my partner for 8 years and we just got married and moved abroad for his job a month ago. My husband contracted herpes from his pervious girlfriend and then past it on to me - without knowing.
Anyway our sex life has pretty much dissapeared over the years as he has so many outbreaks after sex. I always ask him for sex but he comes up with loads of excuses and prefers to watch porn, which he knows i hate. I gave up so much for him and his job to move country and he cant be bothered to try and sort out this big issue. I am getting very depressed about this...any advice?

Have him see a doctor.  There is medication that he can take profilactically (preventive) for herpes that he would take daily and would prevent these outbreaks.  I think the name is Famvir or acyclavir or something like that.  How is the marriage besides the sex?

You were aware of his STD prior to getting married right?  You dealt with it for 8 years now, why all of a sudden the change?  All you can do is try to be patient.  I suggest you try again to talk to him about your concerns but not while you are angry at each other.
