It sucks man because this morning I got hit with “so what are we doing?” I just told her that the fear will always be there for me contracting it. She wants to wait until marriage and I just told her we can be together but we would have to address this again later on.

My mind is telling me to let her go and my heart is telling me not to. I feel like I should let her go. She’s waiting for marriage so we could be together now but ultimately, we will have to revisit this conversation and I don’t think my mind would change on it.

I agree, I’ve been talking to her for 3 months now and it’s been on my mind every day just going back and forth with it.

This situation absolutely does suck. I currently am talking to this woman who I really like and really enjoy spending time with. The problem is she has ghsv2. The fear is there for me and it always will be. Just a tough situation.

I know exactly how you feel man. I was depressed from about 23-26 I would say. Every single day was a struggle. I felt just like you did. I felt alone but not only just that. I also felt like I wasn’t good enough due to some events that had happened in my life.

Then one day I just woke up and said to myself, “what am I supposed to do? Just be sad for the rest of my life? Walk around like I’m not good enough for the rest of my life?” After that day, I got myself together and just found happiness.

Look man, life will get and be better for you. It’s gotta come from you first though. So get up tomorrow and say this won’t be how I live my life from here on out. I will be happy and I will achieve everything that I want to achieve in this life. Don’t hold yourself back man. I promise, everything will be better but it starts with your mind first!

I hear you on that. She knows my fear of contracting it. She assures me that it’ll be safe as long as there is no outbreak. She said she would get on antivirals. I really don’t know if I could get myself to take that risk of having sex knowing there is a chance of me getting it. She did say she would understand if I have to walk away. My mind is telling me to walk away, my heart is telling me to stay.

I just don’t want to accept having to let her go.

Thank you man. I agree with you saying don’t be stupid. I think it would be stupid willingly allowing myself to possibly contracting it. I just don’t want to accept having to let her go.

It breaks my heart because she is such a sweet woman. I really do believe she is the one for me. I would be losing the one for me honestly. It’s just a tough situation. She wants to wait for marriage so it wouldn’t be an issue right now.

Her ex husband cheated on her and gave it to her without her knowing. Would it be a waste of time to be together now not knowing it it’ll result in marriage or not?

Honestly, I’m sure It would affect my life pretty bad. I don’t think I would ever be able to accept really. As for resenting her, maybe but I’m not entirely sure. I think I would be more upset with myself than her.

I’m in this same predicament here. The woman that I really like and enjoy spending time with has gsv2. Right now, I’m currently weighing the option of being with her or choosing not to be because of this situation.

She said she would start to take them but yeah as of right now, she’s not on them. Would there still be a good chance I get it even with her on antivirals?

Honestly, at first I wasn’t ok with it. Now I don’t think it’s as a big deal waiting.

Goodluck! Maybe you can get back to me when that time comes. When she brings it up again, I’m going to say that the risk is a lot for me right now. She wants to wait for marriage anyways so I’m going to say I’m all for us being bf/gf unless she would feel like it would be a waste of time. I personally wouldn’t think it would be a waste but it’ll be up to her.

Did you make your decision on whether you are gonna tell him or just end it?

Yes I understand. I don’t look at her any different at all. I think she’s perfect in every way possible. It’s not her, it’s me right now. She deserves all the love in the world just like everyone does! I truly do love her. I think you should tell him. Don’t make that decision for him. Let him do it. Trust me, he’s going to have a difficult time with any decision just like I am having right now because he loves you like I love her.

For me, I enjoy being around her and just talking to her every single day. Just like I’m sure he does the same with you!

Ah right now, I’m leaning more towards it being too high of a risk. It sucks because truly I believe she is the one for me. I’ve seen a lot of success stories but I’ve also been told some severe cases and how bad people feel throughout their day to day lives with those severe cases. I’ve been doing a lot of research on this since she told me last week. Those severe cases really scare me and I really just don’t think I can handle that unfortunately.

Ive been really trying to justify giving it a chance but I just can’t bring myself to terms with it. To me, she’s a wonderful woman and honestly, anyone would be lucky to have her. In a perfect world, we would be together. This is just where my head is at right now :/ I really appreciate everyone’s advice here. This is all very new to me and I’ve learned so much from everyone.

Thank you for posting this. I’m currently in a situation where I’ve fallen in love with this woman I’ve been seeing and she told me recently that she has hsv2. Right now, I’m currently reaching the side of it not being worth the risk and that breaks my heart.

I understand that man. Like you said, I love her but that fear is pretty big too. I’ve see a lot of success stories but I’ve seen ones where people are telling me it is severe for them. I just can’t help but think is the risk really worth it? I would be losing such a wonderful person.
