He left you and you are hurting over him
Hi Laura! .... Firstly I'm so sorry to hear about the person you was seeing wasn't interested after you told him... I think it was really brave that you told him! You done the right thing, but clearly he wasn't the right guy for you ..... It's really good you told the truth at least you can hold your head up high and know you're an Honest person who done the correct thing. There are some people that don't tell others about having it!
Hi Laura. Sorry about the guy who ran as well. But it's understandable. I dated a guy back in 2009/10 for two years. We were in a serious relationship, lived together ect. He had type 1 herpes the cold sore kind not genitals. He didn't tell me until the day he had a symptom which was 6 months into our relationship. He said don't kiss me. I said why. He said because he was getting a cold sore. I freaked out because I knew it was highly contagious and I didn't get them. I didn't break up with him over it but it did freak me out and even before we broke up he said I made him feel like cra* about it. He thought about my reaction throughout our relationship it was always in the back of his head. I didn't mean to make him feel that way. Wasn't why we broke up though. I realized we were very different. He wanted kids, I already have two so I didn't want to hold him back from starting a family. He was a great guy. Sometimes I wonder if I did the right thing but I guess I did because I know he has been with the same girl since about a year after we broke up and they had a baby together. But yeah I didn't mean to make him feel that way and he never gave me anything! The guy I was with last month did. Wrong guy, let my guard down, and now I have something. Now I see both flips of the coin but I've talked to my close friends and family and they have all been supportive. Most people get type 1 and 20 out of 100 people get type two. So it's very common but with genitals it's a little less easy to discuss. Just know it's not the end of the world. Take a break from dating for now. Focus on you and your health and then jump back in the water informed and honest. The right person will still love you for you. That I can promise. The more I read the less freaked out I get. Hugs.
