How do i get the guy that im dating to forgive me for not telling him i have herpes before we had sex? i know he just needs some space right now. i wanna rebuild the trust between us and show him im trustworthy.

That’s a hard one. It depends on the circumstances honestly. All’s you can do is give him space and let him know that you’re sorry. Recognize you were in the wrong because you took his choice in the matter away, but that you accept full responsibility and you let the moment and your intense feelings for him get the best of you. Let him know you understand that he’s upset and that you’ll be there to talk whenever he’s ready. When he’s ready, give him the facts of how low transmission is if you’re using protection or on suppressive therapy, etc. Hope that’s a little helpful. Hugs!!
