So I've finally told a future partner.... This was his outcome!?

Hi everyone,

So after having HSV2 for nearly 6 months now the last few weeks i've finally decided to throw myself back into the dating game... my worst nightmare!

So me and this guy have been friends for a few years and in a previous post i explained how we had been getting closer and we had spoken about being together. Obviously he was unware at this stage of my condition, cut a long story we short it was eating me up inside i had to tell him what i had as i felt i couldnt be 100% with him as i felt as i was hiding something.

So, we was in the car the other day and he brought up the subject as i had mentioned charlie sheen the other day and he reacted badly about him .. i said so yeah you know i said if we was to ever have sex we would have to use protection? he said yeah.. i said well its because i have a virus that i unfortunaetly cant get rid of... he looked shocked and said what do you mean? what virus? ... i stopped i hate using the word HERPES! ... so i said the H one you know? .. the H one? he said .. so i finally plucked up the courage and blurted it out. I have herpes i said, as i was driving i had to keep my eyes on the road and couldnt really see his reaction

so what does that mean? how did you get it? he asked and i breifly explained what it is, why it cant be cured, how i contracted this bundle of joy and a few facts about it.

he took a deep breath in and said i feel so sorry for you, what a cun* to have done that to you and not even told you about his condition.. agreeing i could just feel myself sweating so much, but he squeezed my thigh and said that doesnt change you, you are still the same person, you still look the same etc.

Later that day after i got home he had already messaged me saying how he is still obsessed with me and he likes me even more for telling him! he said he has so much respect for me being honest and is so grateful that i told him! wow what a weight lifted on my shoulders! ... I honestly felt to cry i had never felt so happy.

This just goes to prove that herpes is a minor condition and the right person will accept you no matter what, i feel truly blessed for him to have reacted in such a positive way unlike the guy i told previously who said how could anyone possibily want to be with someone who has a non-cureable virus and that i was a vile and disgusting girl! ...

One thing i have learnt is that everything happens for a reason and if i can have the talk with someone anyone can!!

I apologise for the essay but i just thought i had to share my new with the rest of you guys and give you some hope!!!!
