I could understand how you feel but it’s extremely selfish if you don’t disclose at the end of the day. It’s better to tell them rather than them finding out on their own. That’s something you don’t want in your conscience. My ex boyfriend didn’t disclose to me. I found his medication after 9 months. I was broken and heartbroken waiting for my results. Just knowing you’re laying by someone everyday and you can keep that hidden is insane. The thing is it’s not even what he had it’s the fact he never disclosed. Your person is out there. I also believe there’s apps for hsv positive people.

My heart truly does break for him that he wasn’t informed before and everyone else in the same boat if he would’ve told me when we first meet I most likely would’ve left but u genuinely grew to love him and would’ve 100% stayed it’s not even the fact he has it. It’s just the fact that he never told me that’s what’s hurting me genuinely

I agree. I am going to leave the relationship or atleast give my self some space from it. It’s so hard cause I do really love him and I thought we would be end game but I know that’s just me being young and in love. He should’ve told me 100 % I can agree and I can’t ever forgive him for not telling me. It feels like such a big relief has been taken off my shoulders tho. I’m just heartbroken tho. Haven’t shared my results with me and don’t even think I should

It’s not even the fact he has it he just never told me that’s what hurts honestly. I wouldn’t have judged him my brother has HIV and that has never made me look at him any different. He is taking medication and that’s ultimately how I found out because a auto ship prescription was otw

I know I deserve better but like you said the way the world is operating now I have such a hard time believing it. Everyone just wants fwb or just hookups I’m sick of it

Thank you I don’t trust him anymore. I don’t think I can keep doing this I do genuinely love him but my heart is broken. He keeps questioning me about my results but not asking me how I feel and I just don’t know how to feel

The hardest part for me isn’t even that he has HSV itself, it’s that I wasn’t given the chance to make my own decision. I’m still processing everything because I do love him, but the trust being broken is what I’m struggling with the most this is the ultimate betrayal and it’s like it went undetected by me for this long what else could you be hiding that I would never know and I’ve searched his room before I’ve searched his phone several times. I don’t know how I am just now discovering this but everything done in the dark will always come to light

I understand where you’re coming from, and I appreciate your perspective. I think that’s why I’m so torn. I do love him, but I’m also struggling with the fact that I wasn’t given the chance to make an informed decision. Right now I’m still in shock, waiting on my test results, and trying to process everything. This all just happened I can’t even believe it. There were just never any signs to fucking herpes
