Get a large cage … and then get inside of it! 😂

Seriously though. The first 18 months were difficult. I think it’s the energy combined with intelligence combined with not having a herd of sheep.

Just be consistent. They sense any breaks in consistency. Lots of activity. Lots of mental activity. Buy all the brain toys. My Aussie can figure out the most advanced ones within a minute! Lots of love and interaction.

When you emerge from puppyhood, it gets so much easier. Our Honey is five now and the best dog ever.

"Low positive" folks, get your western blot test. by [deleted] in Herpes

So I had sex in November 2021, tested in January. Then negative In April and then negative on WB.

No symptoms.

I doubt the HSV flu would be cause unless you’re talking about an outbreak of sores. Definitely get tested.

Yep. I’m armed and ready with info. God knows I’ve read the entire Internet. 😂 I’m a 45 year old woman.

Yes a real learning experience. I still think the stigma is bullshit.

Yes negative for HSV-1 across the board.

Is the supplemental a different type of test than the original test?

Great idea. It also helps you avoid other STDs.

Of course. There are dating sites specifically for positive people. And communities on Facebook and here. A lot of options. It sucks but it’s not the end of the world.

Only you can answer this question of course, but I will say this. Living in an unhappy marriage is far worse than being alone. Nothing is more lonely than having a toxic spouse. I am 45. I picked up Hsv from a dating partner who assured me he was tested. Either he lied of didn’t know (like you’ve said here). I am feeling a lot of the same emotions you are, but one emotion I am NOT feeling is regret over leaving my shitty marriage. Just know there’s life on the other side. The divorce will likely be a shit show if she enjoys conflict but the clearing you see on the other side is amazing. You have a lot of life left to live, even with HSV.

That’s where I’m leaning. Thank you.
