pandagirl Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 So, despite trying to wait to tell him that I have herpes after he got back from his trip, I ended up telling him today. It's my fault for letting things get too physical (no sex or anything like that), and then I ended up feeling guilty, so I told him before he left. His reaction? Taken aback. He said he honestly doesn't know anything about it, so he has to think about it, but at the same time he said his reaction isn't, "I'm outta here." I just have this gut feeling that it's not going to work out. I'm pretty bummed out.
Nexus One Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 They should find a way to treat Herpes (there's no treatment/cure yet), there's big money in it since in the US 45 million people have it and it's spreading by 1 million people per year in the US alone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herpes_genitalis Hope you don't mind me posting that Pandagirl, but I think it's better that people get informed about it.
Kamille Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 You know what, I'm proud of you. You told him. He might be thrown, but now you'll know wether he can handle it. Do something that makes you feel good. Be good to yourself tonight.
xpaperxcutx Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Why are you feeling bad for something that wasn't your fault to begin with? I admire your honesty and your ability to be so open to people. You're better than most men and women out there, who can't be honest with themselves to other people.

You're better than most men and women out there, who can't be honest with themselves to other people. I agree, by telling you did good, there's a reason why Herpes is spreading so fast and it's because many people are silent about the fact that they have it but have unprotected sex with others regardless. That and the fact many people aren't well informed about it.
Author pandagirl Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 Thanks everyone. All your support really does mean a lot. I didn't do the best way in telling it. It's like I can't emotionally control myself when talking about this subject. I kept it together, but I did tear up a bit when he asked me how I contracted it and I had to tell the story about my ex. It's just such a vulnerable position to be in. You feel so raw and have no control over the outcome of the situation. To be rejected based upon something that has nothing to do with who you are as a person really hurts.
