Just be straight up and get it over with. If he's going to run , Let him do it now. I feel it's probably more stressful worrying about it ...I don't care that my partner has it. We are careful most of the time and I haven't got it yet. it was a shocker when he told me. I thought about it and told him we'd work around it. He told me after our second date. We have an amazing sex life and he hasn't had an outbreak in 2 years 6 months. You can have a happy normal life!! There's H dating sites also so you don't have to fear having the talk if you're not ready yet. I'm here if you ever want to chat. Much love to you girl! Good Luck !
