Five year relationship over due to herpes

Posted , 6 users are following.

I have been in a committed relationship for five years. I was faithful to him the whole time during the relationship, I also believe he was faithful towards me too. 8 weeks ago I was diagnosed and confirmed with herpes type 2. When I told my partner he was unsupportive, he dismissed my feelings and showed no care towards the level of pain I was in. I dealt with the outbreak alone and I know I caught this from him as I had only slept with no person who was a virgin prior to him. He on the other hand had slept with over 15 women. I don't want to point the finger but I just thought he would of been supportive. To cut a long story short, I am currently going through my second outbreak and he ended with me because apprently it's too much for him to deal with and I am constantly talking about it. My question is how do you find love after herpes? If the man I've been with for five years doesn't accept it then how can I expect a new person to accept it? Arghhghg I am literally falling apart with this condition

    I'm sorry to hear about him being such an ass. My ex gave it to me...when I told him he did, he said he felt he could "cure" himself. I used to set his valtrex out for him for prevention so I didn't get it, but he didn't like how it made him feel. I've known since October, I'm still adjusting.

    All the best
