overcome_anything

i discovered that i was diagnosed with Herpes 2 years ago. i got it from an ass who forced himself on me. anyhow, true to what we've all been reading, the first outbreak is the worst until treated. 2 months ago, i met someone amazing, and everything went so well and perfect. he is a great guy and i feel like i needed to tell him about my disease before we carry on anything further into the relationship. when i told him i had HSV-1, he was rather clueless about it. but since he would be pretty confident that he is Herpes-negative, he chose to leave. (realistically speaking, i do understand that it is not an easy matter to accept. he took a while to absorb all the information that i've been feeding him about it). we went to the gynae together and spoke to the doctor about it and we both got tested together. results will be out tomorrow, and of course i hope he doesn't have it, too. i think that after a few days, as he started reading more about it he slowly discovered that HSV-1 is not that big a deal after all and pretty common among people who do and do not get tested, as it can be spread even through kissing or sharing of utensils. unfortunately, i believe that he still stands to his decision of leaving but on the other hand i feel that he is slowly becoming more accepting to this whole new shocking information imposed on him. hopefully there will come a day where he changes his mind about me.
