If I found out my partner had an STI and hadn't told me, I'd dump them. It's not okay to hide something that important from your partner. Unacceptable behavior.

I'd feel betrayed and angry that my partner hadn't told me about the infection, but I'd also be really concerned for their health. I would want to talk with them openly and honestly, figure out what needs to happen next—like getting tested and seeking treatment if necessary. Communication is key here, so it's important we both take time to process our feelings before trying to move forward together.

If I found out my partner had a sexually transmitted infection and hadn't told me, I think the best thing to do would be to talk honestly with each other about it. It's natural for both of us to feel embarrassed or ashamed in this situation, but our relationship is more important than anything else. We can figure out how we want to deal with this together and make sure that there are steps taken so that we don't risk further contamination.

If I find out my partner has STD and hasn't told me, I will get very angry! STDs are serious matter and should be taken seriously! He must have not been responsible enough to tell me before now. There is no excuse for this kind of ignorance.

If I found out that my partner had an STI and hadn't told me, I'd confront them about it. Depending on how long they knew, or what the circumstances were surrounding not telling me, then things could either stay the same or be over between us. Either way, a conversation needs to happen.

If I found out my partner had a sexually transmitted infection and hadn't told me, the first thing I'd do is laugh at how mischievous they are! Joking aside, communication is key in any relationship, so we would sit down to have an open dialogue about this situation. We would discuss practical solutions together such as getting tested regularly or using protection while being intimate. Most importantly, though, we'd make sure that our trust has not been compromised and ensure that there aren't any other secrets either of us may be keeping from one another.

If I found out that my partner had a sexually transmitted infection and hadn't told me, I'd be mighty mad! To think that they didn't care enough to tell me just ain't right. What kind of trust is this? It's really disheartening. But then again, at the end of the day, all that matters is how we handle it moving forward; so with forgiveness and honest communication maybe God can turn this around in His favor.

with friends If I found out my partner had an STI without telling me, I'd be really upset. I would take time to process why they didn't tell me sooner and talk it through calmly before doing anything else.

If I found out my partner had an STI and hadn't told me, I'd probably find some humour in it while also making sure they got the treatment needed. The conversation would likely go a bit like this - “Well that explains why you haven’t been up for round two? Don’t worry, we'll get you fixed right up; damn millennials with your wild embraces! Back in my day there was a good ol' one-night stand n no such thing as catching anything! Hahaha.”

If I found out my partner had an STI and didn't tell me, I'd be pissed! He needs to always practice safe sex and if he's not gonna do that then at least f*cking tell me. I might give him the cold shoulder for a bit just so he knows how shady it is to hide something like this from me but ultimately, we're all human. As long as he tells the truth going forward, we'll work through it together.

If I found out my partner had an STI and hadn't told me, I'd probably do some trolling of my own. Props? Got 'em. Physical gestures ready to go! And, sure that doesn't help the situation much, but at least it'd make for a entertaining time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

First of all, I'd try to stay calm and focus on having a rational conversation. There's no need to jump to conclusions; it's possible that your partner is unaware or may not have realized they even had the infection! Let them know you understand their situation and emphasize that you're there for support - that includes both emotional and logistical help (like getting an appointment with a doctor). Remember: regardless of how they got the infection, it doesn't reflect anyone character - this can happen to anyone. Finally, make sure you use protection when engaging in sexual activities going forward!

If I found out my partner had a sexually transmitted infection and hadn't told me, the first thing I would do is take some time for reflection. In doing so, it helps to understand what boundaries have been crossed and how both parties can work towards repairing this trust. Once understanding has been achieved, communication is key in order to find a solution that works for everybody involved; asking open-ended questions in a non-judgemental setting allows all sides of the story to be expressed which ultimately leads towards building connection instead of disconnection or conflict. It's then important to seek professional help where necessary - whether it's through healthcare professionals or counselling services - as STIs should always be taken seriously and steps need to be taken in order get treated quickly before any health complications arise further down the line.

If I found out that my partner had a sexually transmitted infection and hadn't told me, the first thing I would do is talk to them about it. It's important to understand why they kept this from you, so both of you can work together towards addressing the issue. Once an honest dialogue has been opened, depending on what type of STI it was, discussing testing options and treatments could be necessary, as well as having frank conversations around safe sex practices with future sexual partners if applicable. Educating oneself is key in these situations; there are many resources online to learn more about particular STD/STIs and their associated risks. Ultimately navigating these matters does require patience, understanding, and communication—it’s vital for any healthy relationship!

If I found out my partner had a sexually transmitted infection and hadn't told me, the first thing I would do is seek medical advice for myself to make sure that I haven't contracted it too. Then, although it's difficult to confront somebody you love about something like this especially if i feel angry or betrayed by them not telling me sooner -I'd talk openly and honestly with him about what has happened; how we are going to deal with it; get tested together coz often its treatment & risk management are better when done properly in concert. Lastly, Id work outside of our relationship on forgiveness so as not move into any sorta judgemental stage of blame assingment n' all. Afterall who doesn’t hit a bump inthe road at sum point innit🤷

If you found out that your partner had a sexually transmitted infection and hadn’t told you, I would encourage them to be open with their healthcare provider in order to seek treatment. I would also encourage the two of you to have an in-depth conversation about health communication going forward as well as any border issues like contraception or use of condoms if further sexual activity is anticipated. Finally, it's important for both partners involved to get tested regularly so that future infections can hopefully be avoided.

If I found out that my partner had a sexually transmitted infection and hadn't told me, I would first take the time to listen carefully to what they have to say. Compassion for your partner is paramount in a situation like this- it's important that you consider their feelings without judgement. Next, while remaining firm on the importance of being honest and open with one another about any potential health risks, I would attempt to find productive ways forward together such as seeking medical help or discussing how the two of you can look after yourselves moving forward. Ultimately though it is essential that both parties maintain trust and respect within all relationships; honesty really is always the best policy!

If I found out my partner had a sexually transmitted infection and she hadn't told me, I would be disappointed in her but understand why. However, it's important for us both to get checked out and seek medical advice as soon as possible. In the meantime, we need to practice safe sex until things can be cleared up.

If I found out my partner had an STI and hadn't told me, the first thing I would do is tell them that it's okay. Even though this might have been a difficult conversation to have, it's important for us both to stay honest with each other and keep communicating openly. From there I'd probably take some time to research what steps we can take in order to manage our sexual health responsibly going forward, such as getting tested regularly or talking about safe sex practices if one of us decides to be sexually active with somebody else before we find out more information from our healthcare provider. In any case, it's never too late (or silly) learn something new!
