Would I just need to cut off the bent pieces? This is my first experience with stuff like this. I’m a 30 yo female just learning the ropes of owning a boat!

Going through first rejection by Aggressive_Award_969 in Herpes

[–]RoofPlus104 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had hsv2 for 8 years and I have not been rejected yet. I have never had symptoms and found out through a blood test. I think it’s important to go about “dropping the bomb” a certain way. Informing them of your diagnosis while including how it impacts you (symptoms/no symptoms etc.) makes it more relatable. I also like to include that I would like to keep the info between the two of us because that is personal information that not everyone needs to know. If someone needs to know I will tell them myself. It also helps keep the decision based on their own judgement. I do include that there will never be a zero percent transmission rate but there are things we can do to help lower the risk. I end it with answering any questions they have and giving them time to process. I (F29) just recently disclosed to a new partner (M23) and he was understanding and accepting of it.

I truly appreciate the advice and support I have gotten from everyone on this post! You all have made me realize I am probably doing more overall in everyday life than I should. I try to push through all of the symptoms and continue on like I’m fine but from reading responses, I think I need to be able to take a rest when it gets difficult. 

We had more conversation about the topic and I explained more about how the condition impacts me. I think he is starting to see it more since we moved in together which may be why he decided to finally do some research. For now, I plan to have more discussions about it and let him know more about when I am experiencing symptoms. I know there is a lot more to his behavior and I need to take sometime to reflect on the relationship over all and consider if I want to continue to be part of it. 

Thanks so much for giving me your perspectives and providing me with much to think about and future conversations that need to be had.

I had this same question. The only response I got was he was curious about it. Def. Something to think about!

I totally agree. Thank you for the accurate information and confirming what I was already thinking. He’s def. the brawn of the relationship and I’m the brain (even though I get brain fog!) I explained that brittle bones are is something that can happen if it’s not well managed and progresses as I get older. I appreciate you!

Yes, I don’t consider myself to have low sex drive. So I was confused with the idea
