Thanks, that's great.

Thanks so much. your perspective is really quite helpful. The stats provided are interesting too.... where are they from?

I am a 58 year old man and a widower for 2+ years. I met a lovely woman several months ago and the relationship has grown wonderfully. Last week she let me know she has hsv and has had it for many many years. It is apparently of low intensity and she reports minor outbreaks Every couple of years. She thought the virus was only active when she had an outbreak and consistent with this belief she told Me when she felt a sore coming. But my research online tells me two things. 1- she can shed the virus at anytime and so her info was not correct. And 2-that typically, discussions online go ballistic when disclosure is made after having had sex. I am definitely not happy with how thislYed out but I have reason to believe her story is essentially true (even while the facts may be true she may also have feared the ramifications of sharing this with me). I am mostly interested in moving forward with this woman who has so wonderfully come into My life but my trust has not been fully restored yet. Am I crazy to take her explanation at face value and work to build the relationship? Or is there something about this unfolding that warrants specific attention or a reality check? This is a relationship I want to build but I also do not want to ignore an important factor in the foundation of our potential future Many view failure to Timely disclose an unforgivable. I suspect members can provide a broader perspective. Thanks
