Herpes Talk Success!

I am excited to report I finally got the courage to disclose and it went really well! I took Adrial's advice from the disclosure ebook and it gave me a lot of confidence, but I was still terrified because I really like this guy. We have been dating about a month, last night was our 8th date and it was time -- I wanted to be intimate with him and knew I was ready. I got the courage to say it, and he immediately said, "Not a big deal." I was like "really?" and he said "Really. Two of my exes had it so I've dealt with this before." Then he mentioned that his sister has it, and that it really is so prevalent. I was so relieved I wanted to cry. (And then we had sex -- twice:-))

 

I have been stressing out about this way too much over the last month. I am really grateful to Adrial and all of you who have been so supportive. Just reading your posts has helped me feel less alone. Thank you all of you for being part of this community!!! I am also so grateful because I will still worry about stuff, but it will be regular relationship stuff now -- not this stupid insignificant virus! xoxoxo to all of you!!!
