vernon3<P>Nowadays, with the danger of contracting STDs, it's important for one to know if their spouse is or has been involved in a physical affair, even if there was no intercourse since some STDs can be spread by kissing and oral sex, not to mention anal sex. <P>I did some snooping on my new husband when I saw signs of other women in his life, and found out to my amazement that he was having daily sex with several disreputable young women in our bed while I was at work. I did leave him, and not too soon because he came down with an STD not long after that. <BR> <BR>My husband was in his 70s, having great daily sex with me, and he appeared to be a fine moral and religious person, so don't count anyone out if you see signs of an affair.<P>hth<BR>Gail<P>P.S. Off topic, but I found out that he had an STD while helping his grown daughters obtain copies of all his medical records when he was diagnosed with lung cancer. We also found that he had colon cancer that his trusted family physician (and friend) didn't tell him or his family about. So I always collect my medical records and see what they say. Even I could see an enormous black growth in his colon from an x-ray he'd had a month or two earlier. There should be a report with every set of x-rays, and notes each doctor writes after each of your visits to him/her. I think you can contact your (US) county medical association to verify if these records belong to you. In my county they do. <p>[This message has been edited by computergal (edited December 16, 2000).]
