Herpes is very contagious. You did not mention if you have type 1 or 2 and how you found out. 90% of the population has some form of herpes, and the vast majority do not know it. Many people assume they are dealing with jock itch, a yeast infection or ingrown hair. Even more never notice anything at all. People foolishly think that if they have never had a symptom they don't have the virus. (the person who told you to die with it probably already has it!) If your partner had it, he may have not known and spread it to you. If he/she had oral herpes it could have been spread during oral sex even if they never had an outbreak.
You cannot get it from a towel or a toilet seat. You get it from skin to skin contact whether it is a peck on the lips from your great grandma, sharing a pop with a friend, or any sexual activity. During times of stress or injury it is more likely to surface with symptoms. It is possible you have not had an outbreak for many years then suddenly one shows up.

I got diagnosed with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about 4 years ago, whilst I was still in college and had a dumb one-night stand. I know lots of people say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. After all, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/e3Bwq everything improved.
Not only was I able to eradicate all remnants of the herpes simplex virus from my system in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! This method provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience true love again. Now I hope that I can help others too by sharing this story.

Um.... I believe herpes can lay dormant for up to 7 years. You might want to go on the center for disease control website or planned parenthood or something for the exact statistic. But I do believe you can have it for up to 7 years without ever having an outbreak or anything.
So you may not have cheated, it may have been there from a while ago. Also, maybe the other party in the relationship cheated or had it laying dormant.
