    I presume you are talking about Genital Herpes?

    Breaking-up with her seems very severe if you love each other.

    What you should do is to talk it over with her, and be completely honest with her whilst you are doing it.

    You can minimise the risk by always using a condom, but the decision as to whether you stay together should be hers'.

      Yes I do love her but it's not easy when you find out you have herpes and to tell her that especially she has 3 kids I don't want to put them at risk I never knew I had untill last week thank god she never got it but I never break out at all it very difficult

      You owe it to her to be completely truthful.

      The decision as to whether she wants you to stay must be hers'.

      If you explain that you only found out a short while ago, she might understand a little bit better.
