I am a 31-year-old woman and I am having an embarrassing problem. My boyfriend and I have been living together for more than two years. He is my only sexual partner.
I have never had another man since we have been living together. I have one son and he is living with his grandparents. I see him every week.
I suspect that my boyfriend is playing around. He told me that he is not guilty of anything, but how can I be suffering from this embarrassing problem if he is not playing around with another woman? I started to feel itching in my pubic area, and the more I searched the area, I realised that it was lice. As I scratch the area, the lice seem to go deeper.
I told my boyfriend that something was wrong. I tried to shave and have him look at me and he confirmed that it was lice. I asked him if he was having any problems and he said no. I do not believe my boyfriend because I researched the matter and I realised that this thing is spread by having sexual contact with one's partner. I can swear that I haven't had sex with another partner, so how come I caught lice?
I am too embarrassed to go to see a doctor, but I discussed it with a female doctor and I pretended that it was one of my girlfriends who had the problem. I was told that one could also become infected from the clothes one wears or even from toilet seats.
I searched my boyfriend's jeans, but I did not see anything. I clean the toilet seats even with bleach.
Do you know anything about how lice are spread and how long I will have to suffer from this thing? I told my boyfriend to tell me the truth and if he does, I will not leave him. But is he still insisting that he has not gone to another woman.
H.P.
