Yeah but I'm still worried that it will get out and I think he would tell people, and he knows a lot of people I know. Just really don't know what to do. I want to end things but I don't want to hurt him

Hi, last year I got diagnosed with herpes simplex. I was in a 9 month relationship and he gave me it without any warning. When I found out he had gave it to me I forgave him because I loved him, but now I am paying for it since we have split up. I'm scared of meeting someone. I live in a small town so if I do find someone and he tells people the whole town will know, and the thought of that gets me so down. I have a friend that also has it. She got involved with a lad and she told him and unfortunately he went round and told everyone, my friend then got very suicidal and I don't want that to happen to me. I have met this boy and I do really like him but I don't want sex with him for obvious reasons but I don't want to tell him just incase he walks away and leaves me broken hearted or he tells people. I have read all about herpes and thought maybe it will help, but nothing seems to be helping and I feel so down, really don't know what to do. I just want my life back again because right now, I feel like I don't have one because I feel like I can't have a relationship. I don't know wether I should wait for a cure or to risk my life being ruined, I need some help!
