[Herpes anniversary]

Thank you. I thought that I knew this last person very well. It hurts so much. Each time it gets harder and harder to pick myself up and move on. I know that I am amazing, with so many good qualities, I just wish that someone else could see it. 

[I really do feel like a destroyer of worlds]

Maybe he doesn’t want to date anyone else. I would think that he stayed for more than the reason that you gave him Herpes. I know that there is no way I would have stayed with the person who gave it to me. They were abusive. But maybe you need to give yourself a chance?  Stop being so hard on yourself. Herpes doesn’t define you nor him nor your relationship. You need to think about why you would want to stay or leave without thinking about the h part. 

[Herpes anniversary]

I have struggled with acceptance each time I date. I even stopped dating for many years. I finally let myself be vulnerable a few times now and each time the other person ran. How can I get over this?  How can I disclose without it making me feel horrible about myself?

[Accepted Then Rejected]

I am just dealing with this right now. It hurts so much and makes me feel so worthless. And I dread having to have the talk with anyone else ever again. I really do feel like my life is over sometimes

[Specific Question Regarding Disclosure]

Are there more people that haven’t been rejected?  I have tried a few times to disclose and all times been ghosted and rejected.  Sometimes they say it’s ok and then a week later ghost me.  I feel so worthless and can’t stop crying. I need to know that there is some sort of dating life out there for me
