Hello Cotton,
It is completely understandable and appropriate that you feel as if you are riding an emotional roller coaster. It is okay to feel angry, betrayed and sad.

Your husband is not to blame for contracting HIV since it was passed on to him at birth. However, it was irresponsible of him and he is to blame for withholding the fact that he was HIV positive. He put your health at risk.

Do you want to remain married to him? Do you want to work at forgiving him? The choice is yours. No one can judge you if you chose to work toward forgiveness or if you do not.

If you want to save your marriage, I suggest that you and your husband seek the professional help of a couple's or marriage counselor. Another option is to seek guidance from a trusted religious leader, such as a minister, priest or rabbi.
