willow you have been an amazing help to me today. The tears have stopped (mostly) and those sites definitely put things into perspective for me. There's always someone having a worse day than you are ;)

UPDATE: After I asked for an explanation I was told he doesn't owe me anything and to f*** off. Honestly I think he's scared of what my diagnosis means for his health and he's taking it out on me. I can't believe what I'm seeing from him when things got a little complicated.

Thank willow. I was diagnosed by swabs. He says he has no history of cold sores. When I disclosed he said he would get tested. I never been so hurt before. The relief I felt when he was ok with it was beyond amazing that this morning I feel like I've hit an all time low.

Hey everyone, I'm new here and was diagnosed with genital hsv1 a few weeks ago. I disclosed to the person I have been sleeping with for a few months. At first he was ok, then he said as long as we used condoms he wouldn't have a problem with continuing to see each other. I went over to his house the same night where everything seemed normal and we had a great night together. I dropped him off at work this morning at an hour and a half later I get a text message saying we're going to have to stop seeing each other. My heart is in my stomach and I feel so dirty. I don't understand how someone could be ok with this one minute and the next say he's done. I don't know what to do with myself and thought turning here would be a good place to start. Does anyone have any advice or word of wisdom for being rejected in such an awful way?
