Unhappy 1 lie in the beginning affected my whole life.

I have been dating my boyfriend for 2 years now. In the beginning of our relationship he lied to me about who he was dating before me, and through his friends and co-workers I slowly began to piece things together based on random conversations.

To make a long story short, he was dating a co-worker of his who was married and had a small child. She was also 11 years older than him, and they had worked together sonce he was in high school. They had an affair for about 8 months, and then I came into the picture. He and I are both 25. He says he didn't tell me about her because he didn't want me to think of him as someone who would hook up with someone like her. He basically says he used her for sex.

Because it was so scandalous, people keep bringing it up, and it totally grosses me out to think of him with such a vile woman,and to think of him being such a pig. I understand it was both of them who hurt everyone around them - and it was in the past... but it affects the present and future because she passed on a disease to him that he gave to me (HPV) and now I have to deal with it for the rest of my life, and my chances of having a child are cut down. I also had to undergo 3 surgeries, and it has drained me physically and emotionally.

Besides this, everything between my boyfriend and I are great. I can't complain about anything... should I forgive him, and is it wrong of me to continually be upset with him whenever she is brought up in conversation or I have to go to the doctor??

Help!!!
