Thank you for you responses. We are seeing eachother in the week and I will tell him. I mean I couldn’t imagine not telling him and like I said I wouldn’t sleep with him unless he knew and 100% was okay with it. It’s just hard to come to terms with how to break it into a conversation. I’ve never had to break anything to anyone... I’m only 24 this isn’t what I expected my life to turn out and it’s just having the courage to be rejected.. we will see what happens when we have the chat within the week x

So I’ve not long been diagnosed with hsv2 and I’ve been dating this guy now for around 3 months. We’ve met up a lots of times and he lives 30 miles away and talk on FaceTime and on the phone everyday more than once! I really really like him and we’ve always said to take things slowly, so nothing sexual has happened at all yet. Today we had a lovely conversation over the phone and planned our next date night. Like I said were in no rush to sleep together. Tonight he’s told me that his feelings are growing stronger and stronger, and so are mine. However as I’ve only found out about having hsv2 roughly a month ago I’ve been trying to figure a way of telling him. I’m so upset and ashamed as it’s something you’d never think you’d have to explain to someone. I mean why me? hes 30 but he has his childish moments and sometimes comes across a bit of a lad towards past girls but how can I explain to him I have this, I don’t want him to just up and jet. However I can’t and won’t sleep with him unless he knows. I’m so embarrassed and so ashamed. Would life be easier to just think end it here with him and stay single... will men ever understand? Why do I feel I’m the only one with this in the uk😞... emotions are all over the place but my main issue is I’ve been on my own over 1 and a half years and this guy really means something to me... what do I do 🤷🏻‍♀️? Sometimes wonder if dating someone else with this may be an easier option but you can’t choose who you like or want to be with!

That’s one reason why I came on here to see others in the same situation and hopefully soon enough I can get back to being happy and feeling absolutely normal. Confidence has gone completely and I haven’t even left the house 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just don’t have many people as friends as all mine are in relationships and have children. To be fair I just use my horses as therapy. Just don’t know who to trust and I’m worried my mum will not understand. 😕

Hi all, i have just found out that I have hsv2 and I’m totally shocked and quite frankly feel defeated with life. I’m 23! My ex boyfriend and I split over a year ago and been single since but only just found that I have this virus. I’m so totally crushed and just need some help and support with regards to how you put up with everyday tasks, without stopping and being reminded your situation. Does the dating scene scare anyone because I’m totally scared now. Is there anyone in Bristol or surroundings in the same situation as me🤷🏻‍♀️. i must ask because right now I have no clue or answers to anything. I mean nobody asks for this but we never really expect to be diagnosed with such a virus or anything throughout our lives. Just feel like I’ve come to a dead end at the moment! Really appreciate everyone’s advice and comments and even stories! Thanks angel x

I’m in the exact same situation. Split with ex partner over a year ago now after him continuously cheating on me... nevertheless only found out Friday that I have the virus. Not only am I so angry and frustrated right now, I feel my future not only relationships but other things have just completely gone from my mind. I couldn’t imagine how I’m gonna ever open up about this to anyone 😕.... would love to chat to some of you and hear some positive stories. Thanks angel x
