possible transmission, need help

So I just found out I have NGU, not due to Chlamydia.  I contracted this from an escort via oral sex.  The unfortunate thing is, I had sex (unprotected but no ejaculations inside her) with my wife a few days after my indiscretion, which was before I had symptoms.  I guess my question is, how likely is it that I have given her something?  IS NGU not due to Chlamydia passed easily?  I didn’t think STD’s were passed through oral sex but I was wrong, so I don’t know about probability of passing something on.  Also, how soon would she symptoms.  This is the worst thing I have done in my life.  I have been married 20 years and I’m so depressed at this point, I can hardly function.  Can anyone please help?

usually non-chlamydial ngu is from normal mouth/genital bacteria, not from a bacteria that is easily transmitted between partners.

escorts really aren't much higher risk than anyone else dear. Since their livelihood depends on them being std free, they typically are more apt to be taking precautions properly as well as testing regularly unlike someone you'd randomly pick up at a bar and have a drunken encounter with.

I'm a little confused why everything online says partners must be evaluated and treated, but you're saying it's not typically transmitted to partners.  Can you explain a little more about why you feel it's not typically transmitted?  Is it more concerning that I got this from an escort since she would be considered high risk?  Does it mean I could have picked up something really bad?  

I have not considered counseling at this point.  All I know is that sometimes you don't realize the impact of your actions until you after you've done it and I feel like dirt.  The worst thing on the planet.

fyi - ejaculation has nothing to do with std transmission risk.

so what do you do? Well either you lie to your wife and let her know that you have an infection but not how you got it , you hide all of this from her and double cross your fingers and toes that she doesn't develop any symptoms or you let her know what you've done and go from there.

have you considered talking to a counselor to help you work through all of this?
