New Tread ? I'm not sure...

I'm new to this forum , and very glad to know there is such a thing around.  My daughter said "Mom , you need to find some people to talk to about this " . And I thought , Gosh , where ?

But , I do have a question that may have already been addressed , if so I can't find it and so would appreciate comments or threads.

Is anyone here dealing with anger issus as far as how you got this to start with ? ...I am.

First of all let me say that I am not unfimillar with Hep - C as I had a sister who died from this 6 years ago. She had recieved a blood transfusion after being hit by a car while crossing a street. So for many years my family was accustom to taking all the nessesary precautions to prevent spreading.  She died a horrible death , and I was the one who "tended her" for the last few years.

I'm getting off track , but my point is , I am not unfimilliar with Hep-C .

My anger issues are as follows.

I met a man 8 months ago , no sex for the first month or so, then yes. We dated for a few months and then decided to marry .We married on March 24th of this year. About a week later he told me he had been for a routine checkup and was found positive for B and C.. I was shocked , scared and curious. So... after looking through his medical records I discovered that in fact he had been diagnosed over 9 years ago with both.

This leads me to my point. I am Very angry and not at all sure I can live with a man who was dishonest to me about such a serious matter. As I told him , more than likely I would have said , " OK , I know what to do and I can deal with this . But the fact that I wasn't given a choice really upsets me. I could have prevevted this from happening to me if I had known.

Am I being unreasonable ? Am I wrong ? We argue alll the time and some days barely speak because this is always in the back of my mind.

Gosh, I'm gonna hush now ...LOL.

Just hoping for some comments. And yes, I am Hep -C positive now . "they" estimate 6 months.

Thanks,

moon
