No matter how you tell him, he is going to be angry… and with good reason. However, chlamydia is about as good as it gets from an STD.

The key is to tell him before he manifests any symptoms. This part may not happen, but that doesn’t mean this can wait forever. The more time that passes the more long-term effects the infection may have.

Were it me that needed to be told, I would prefer to have the seriousness of the situation framed up properly. I would not like to be surprised/blind-sided. Perhaps something like “I have something serious I need to talk to you about” on an average day (not when he is having a great day or a crummy day). Mention any shame you feel, “I’m sorry” should come out of your mouth more than once. You waited this long because you didn’t know how to tell him… you still don’t really know but that’s okay in this case. It explains why this news came so late and will be a relief to him because at least it means you weren’t cheating (though he is still going to be angry). Tell him how you were treated while you were pregnant so that his child is fine.

On another note, I don’t think (were it me) that I’d want to hear “I love you” during this speech. Unless he makes a move to hug you or something, I wouldn’t say ‘I love you.’

Best of luck with this! I’m happy that you are finally telling him.
