Hey guys! I'm new to this and I'm just looking for some support as I've really been struggling lately. I' was diagnosed with HSV-2 about three years ago. I was so devastated. I was in a relationship with someone who I thought loved me and had my best interests at heart. We had the talk about unprotected sex and decided it was time to take out relationships to the next level. We trusted each other so it didn't seem like a bad idea... little did I know. We had unprotected sex and the very next morning I woke up in horrible pain. I couldn't really walk, use the restroom, I know something was wrong. I went to the emergency room and sure enough, it was herpes. I was mortified. I immediately went to my partner and told him what I just found out. His response? "Are we done here, I have to get back to work." He knew he had it. I guess my well being and safety didn't matter to him. Two weeks later, he moved to Cali. Needless to say, I was going through an emotional roller coaster. Not only was I just diagnosed with herpes, my "man" knew he had t and didn't care he gave it to me, and he was already planning to leave me (which I knew nothing about). I have struggled everyday since trying to cope with this. How do you trust anyone after something like this? Who is going to want to be with someone who has herpes? How do I tell people I have this? Will I be alone forever? Some days are easier than others but the worst is meeting someone new and having this thought longer in the back of your mind. I recently met and AMAZING guy. He was everything I had been looking for, seriously. We had an amazing connection and he acknowledged that as well. Things were moving fast so I decided to have the talk. He took it pretty well, said that it didn't change his feelings towards me, and that we would just be careful moving forward. I was ecstatic! Finally, someone who wanted me just as much as I wanted them. A week later I got the TEXT. " I don't think I have it in me to be with someone in your condition". Heartbroken. Everyday since I've felt so low. I don't know where to go or what to do. All I want to do is cry.
