Feel like I’m getting nowhere

Hi everyone,

I was diagnosed in April 2017 with HSV 2. I have disclosed to three people and have been rejected by all three.

I try to stay positive and whatnot, but it is so hard to do that. I feel like I will never have a successful relationship again.

I liked one guy and disclosed to him... Kept talking to him and one day he just stopped talking to me - this could or could not have been due to my HSV diagnosis, but I assume the worst.

 

I don’t know what to do with myself it’s so hard to stay positive when it’s been such a terrible experience thus far.

We don't need their validation. Life will always be full of obstacles and really " Those that mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind."

You'll come across people who are fine with it and you won't even like them. How's that for a conundrum?

 

3 guys huh? It's funny cause with all this information we have. 2/3 worldwide have herpes and they say 4/5 people don't know they have genital herpes. Bet you these guys think they don't have it because they don't show signs and think that they've been tested for it.

@SunDevourer Exactly! They don’t believe it.. They won’t get tested because they think... No way not me. I just feel so alone and I don’t have anyone in my life who really understands.

I hear you. Luckily i met a gorgeous young girl about the time i found out. She told me she had it the very first night (im a girl too so it was over girl talk) but seeing how open and confident she was about it and not letting it bother her gave me confidence. I now see this as a test in finding a future partner worthy of me. If theyre going to bail because of that, their loss and you deserve better. Good luck to you!
