2 years ago I started dating a man, I had one of his old gf send me a message while with him, I got the first message or two from her telling me that he was no good! I showed him the message he intercepted the next message which was a picture of him on a herpes dating web site. He deleted that message, I asked him what he was hiding? He told me she had framed him and did tell me she was saying he had something, I asked him repeatedly if he had anything he swore on his son's life he didn't have antthing! Thinking he Loved me and he was being truthful, I believed him! He made her out to be the jaded ex lover! We dated a year and a half and have been broke up for about 6 months and he is already remarried! So here I am 6 months later she (same ex gf) sends me the pic and suggest I get tested. I got tested and I tested positive for both herpes 1 and 2. I have cried my eyes out over this! I haven't had a break out! I'm scared to death! I am a single mom with 3 kids and I fear passing something on to them, I fear dating now, I fear my first outbreak. I have so many emotions right now!
I am usually a social butterfly, chipper, happy, always smiling! Everyone thinks I'm dieing cause I am not the person I was before the phone call from the Dr! Crying, depressed and very sad!! How do you cope?? Any encouragement would be great!
