This can occur in women who are not (or who have never been) sexually active, as well as women who are in a mutually monogamous relationship.
there is some evidence linking it to an increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (a bacterial infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries)
This organism appears to be present in 30 to 40 percent of all women.
It is not known how woman contract it..
He may be cheating but this is very common in woman...doesnt even have to be with anyone or even had sex in order to get it...

This is common, almost as common as yeast infections. There is a balance of yeast and bacteria in the vagina. When there is an overgrowth of one, that is what causes the infection. This can be due to hormonal changes or been given to you by your husband. However, if it has been a long time since your husband cheated, I doubt he gave it to you. I would not have sex with anyone until you have gone to the docor and the infection is completely gone, or you risk giving it back to yourself.

You're going to have to have your doc reasurre you. Not sure if you have an IUD or if you douche but if you dont chances are high it was because of an STD. And I know this may sound silly but make sure to wipe from front to back after going to the ladies room.

My thought would be, yes, he gave it to you. One of the reason's to never hang on to a cheating husband. Should have kicked him to the curb before he could give you a disease. If you get lucky, and I hope you do, and this turns out to be something minor.....think about getting rid of him before he does pass something like Aids on to you.

theres no way of telling that he could have passed it on to u....however he can do a lot of different tests for different std's ...and both of u need to consult an appropriate doctor and get on with the treatment...
ask him to wear a condom from now on ..or just abstain for a while

This is not a "common" infection however it's causes vary. Your cheating husband may have passed it to you, however he may not have.

It's very common and little known of the cause.

If you didn't sleep with anybody else, your husband is to blame.
Why are you letting him do this to you? I'd divorce the sucka.
