I feel you
Quote From: chantel2Well, I have not been on this message board in a long time. Just an update, I thought I had found someone who was accepting to my medical condition (I have had genital herpes for 20 years). Unfortunately, it turns out he was not. We are still friends, but it really hurt like hell when I found out the real reason why he would not take our relationship to the next level -- no matter how much he said he loved me. I don't get it -- why can't men me honest???? It would have hurt less and we both could have moved on sooner.
As for being married to someone you are angry with because of the herpes -- do yourself a favor either learn to forgive or leave. Don't put the added stress to your life. If you have never worked, get a job -- it can be done. Just don't settle yourself. I'm sure I will find someone when the time is right. I date, but I don't sleep with someone until they know. Keep your chin up!
As for a show on this topic -- forget it. All we can do is talk to each other and hopefully find some comfort among us. Chantel2 I feel you Chantel, I have the H too. I have started to tell guys this from the very beginning of dating, not that I even kiss until maybe the 4th or 5th date, but I am that open when we talk about things. That way, they know from the getgo and I know too! It also may help to know that alot of people are uneducated about H, they don't know that everybody has it - you're either a carriers or you have symptoms. Bottom line is, some will just be freaked and you both deserve to know who that is before it gets too far. Good luck!
