I'd like to know your story

I've been stressing about how am going to tell my bf that I have this. Even tho he gets horrible cold sores. I have them down there. I just need to know how you guys told your partners you have this. It will help me so much to hear your stories 😊 Thanks

My now ex partner had coldsores and gave me gential herpes through oral. However he was not the nicest person and did not care or listen and refused to believe he gave me GH even though he was the only person I had done anything with. We separated shortly after.

However I'm sure if your boyfriend is understanding it'll go a lot smoother than what happened with me!

Wow am very sorry. It hurts when people turn their backs because we have this. I hope so we have two kids but I have the sores come out and am scared that I might give it to him down there sence he only gets cold sores

Okay well, I wanted for him to know sonce I believe it's his right to know. Firstly, I told him I wanted to tell him something to catch his attention, then I opened it up by telling him how something down there was happening. After explaining to him how scared I have gotten and what the result was.. that I had hsv1.. I expected him to be disgusted and ask me to leave, but instead he was so open and knew exactly how common the virus is. Actually, almost 90% of the population has it but most does not know they have it since some never do get outbreaks. He was very calm and accepting. He's very supporting. Don't be scared to tell your partner, it's their right to know. Plus, if they really love you, they won't run away just because of an obstacle like this. The first day I found out, I told my co worker and she immediately confessed that she as well has the virus. It's not the end of the world, we all have our flaws.
