Blood test positive for HSV 1...

[WCSDancer2010]

Just remember - his rejection is more about HIM than it is about YOU.... it's showing you who he REALLY is - and when you find TRUE love, you will thank your lucky stars that H steered you away from him if that is how he acts over something that 80% of the population has :)

Has anyone gone through a phase of being rejected or cutoff after telling someone, and thinking "yea, I don't blame them"...? That's what I'm experiencing right now. Understanding my ex for cutting me off for this. We haven't talked in two weeks :'f

Though the feeling of "I don't blame them" is understandable, it's NOT warranted!

 

Reverse the situation...if he told you that he had HSV-1, that all you had to do was abstain from kissing or oral sex during an OB, and that he was considering suppressive therapy to further protect you...what would you say? I bet you would be willing to at least do research and understand how little of a disease this is.

 

I think, and I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I think what you're feeling is the guilt perhaps over doing something "wrong" and that you "deserve" to be pushed away. Kissing an ex in April wasn't technically "right," but you don't deserve to be punished and you certainly don't deserve to be pushed away by something as small as HSV-1. BTW - remember- over 80% of the U.S. has HSV-1, so good luck to your BF trying to find the 1 in 5 women who don't have this!!

 

Does he know about the kiss? If so, I've had that same situation happen to me (in the reverse) and it's a tough thing to hear, and he is likely processing what that means and is using H as his excuse to hide his hurt. If not, then he's just kind of being an idiot.

Thank you for your response. I know that I'm being extremely hard on myself. And at the end of the day, there's really no way of figuring out how I acquired this. Shit it could have been from him, but I'll never know (he was supposed to get tested, but he cut me off completely so idk what his results were or if he even got tested). I guess it's irrelevant. But you're right, if the situation was reversed, I would do exactly that.

If he cut you off completely, it says a lot about him hun. Fuck him and the high horse he rode in on. You don't need that shit in your life. He can't handle a fing cold sore, wtf can he handle as a man? Keep it moving, you deserve so much better!

[Msw_1]

Yesss!! @2legit2quit ... I love your response..and you're absolutely right. Maybe all this happened to show his true colors. He doesn't deserve me :)

[2Legit2Quit]

Nope!! He sure doen't!
