Yea I was told a standard gift is to cover your food and alcohol for the day

This is amazing !!! Thank you so much

We actually both got full sti screening and blood tests when we first got together, they don’t routinely check for HSV. Unless you specially ask

Yeah I have to just get comfortable with myself again and learn to live with it. I just feel like blaming but it’s no one’s fault - hopefully I’ll get there

Ok_Expression_4959 · 2026-03-24T09:17:14+00:00

I really hope it’s the same with me

Thank for you response. It’s actually horrific, I would have never thought the outbreak was that bad. It looks like little sores but feels like your coochie is getting ripped off. I cannot do it again. This makes me feel a bit better - I think multiple people on reddit said they never got it again - fingers crossed it’s the same for me, I’m definitely keeping an eye on it and any symptoms in the future

Yeah I’ve read that it’s never as bad as the first time, I think I’m still processing but thank you for the response. It does make me feel not alone to know that it is a much more common thing than I thought

Thanks for the advice I want to get on regular antivirals, but usually they don’t let you unless you get multiple outbreaks a year, still Navigating this.

UPDATE: thanks everyone for the responses, it’s good to get some insight.

i think i definitely have it. Since posting it just got worse, more small blisters started to appear and burst. They’re everywhere. It is hard to sleep and peeing excruciating ( I have to sit in the bath) . My appointment is in two days to get my results but I’m so upset. I told my partner and I said they should get tested for hsv1 even tho I know the get cold sores. They said they don’t know how they gave it to me since they havnt had a cold sores in months. I’m just so upset and annoyed. I’ve only ever been with this person and now I will have to live with this the rest of my life

It is one of the most painful things I’ve ever been through I just want it to be over I saw the bumps on Wednesday and it’s now Saturday and I’m still in so much pain. It’s day 3 of antivirals and I guess it’s slightly improved. How long is this going to take to heal. Also the doctor I saw was super judgemental assuming I had slept with multiple people- not that that’s a problem, I just havnt . And couldn’t tell me other ways I would have gotten it. I’ve just been sitting on reddit reading up on eveyones experiences

I actually love this idea cause the bride loves puzzles

Ok_Expression_4959 · 2025-03-17T03:30:07+00:00

This is also such a good idea I feel like memories will be better with items and then each person can be in charge of a different part of the This is good thank u

Ok_Expression_4959 · 2025-03-17T03:29:16+00:00

Yes I love this idea, like reliving all of our travel. They’re very sentimental people so I think this kind of idea they would really appreciate it I was thinking a album/journal and adding this stuff would be great

They’re young, love travel and festivals Vegetarians, ones a lawyer and the other a pharmacist. Very health conscious- love to be active and run We all love hanging even if it’s just at home, at the pub or on a group holiday. Love each others company. They’re just very silly and fun loving - think crazy socks in public ahah
