I just found out my husband gave me chlamydia and I don’t know what to do.

Ask him to get tested too, that could help your case when he comes back positive and record your conversations or have one of your parents present too.
Also make sure he leaves to give you some breathing space.
Good luck.

Get a second test from a different clinic and move forward. You could be jumping to conclusions over a false-positive.

Hey, I worked as a family law paralegal in Texas. Please do not take any legal advice from this thread; I am seeing some potentially bad advice. Family law attorneys in Texas typically give free initial consults, and many will work out payment plans and stuff like that depending on your situation. Please contact a few (usually meeting with 2-3 is a good idea to find one you have a good rapport with) before you do anything like emptying the bank account.

That said, if you guys don’t have any significant assets, you can probably manage this pro se or with minimal attorney involvement. No-asset divorces are way less expensive than most people imagine. You probably do want to have a relationship with an attorney if your husband tries to fight you, though.

I think what I’d do is get a second test to confirm, then if that comes back positive, start talking to attorneys. Since you mention your husband has a history of aggressive behavior, it’s probably not a bad idea to reach out to a DV group to develop a safe exit plan. Even if you’re not currently being abused, it’s really concerning to me that you’re afraid of him getting aggressive when you end it.
