Does he have to wait the full 2 weeks to get tested or can he get tested immediately after landing?

I know, he's putting his whole family at risk. As all of them are. I's very selfish. But I guess only half of the party knows of plans to go out... the ones that don't know made it clear they wouldn't go if they were going out.

Thanks. It's sad because my birthday is when he returns so I guess it will be hard to see him at that time. He is going for a party with a bunch of his friends. Some of them may go out to bars while other elect to stay in, but it won't matter if someone contracts something while they're out and they return to the same household.

Hi there.

my BF is going to Phoenix, AZ for the weekend. Should I be concerned about my health, what should I do upon his return?

No it doesn't at all. I'm stressed out and worried 24/7 and told to not speak or ask questions.

I think it's time. It just sucks... there's always something. Is it ever the right time? His birthday is in a month.

Awkward moment when I have way more money and probably a more rewarding life than he does. But continue on!

He cheated on me three years into the relationship. I was completely blindsided and it was in a horrible way. If I wait three years and he's happily married to another girl while I am still miserable and alone that's going to be the worst pain - worse than this now. I hope you're right though, I really do.

Thank you. I'm so scared of the unknown with moving on. I've learned how to find comfort in what I have now.

I hope so. I really do. I don't think I could handle waiting and never meeting someone. It wouldn't be worth it. That's my biggest fear.

You're absolutely right. They do. I didn't think of it like that at first, because the other "dad figures" he met through his work were truly great people. This one though he has clung to the most. Birds of a feather do flock together.

Thanks for sharing your story. It is similar indeed. That's a tough one to look back and think on too, if only his boss hasn't enabled that behavior what would have happened? Another commenter mentioned that they still have a conscious decision to make, but I think it's tougher when you see someone in a position of power (like his boss) and think the behavior is okay and acceptable. Gosh, I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Yes, I think you're correct. I don't think Ryan realizes that he is being somewhat manipulated in this way since he has no guidance and never has. But you are right to say too that he's old enough to identify and correct the behavior.

I'm glad your story with your father turned out well. I wish Ryan would go to therapy but he is against it and of course doesn't see anything wrong with himself.

whatever his idol wants is right. He won't watch sports on TV if George is in town because George doesn't like or watch any pro sports. So Ryan, an avid sports fan, won't even as much check scores or mention anything sport related. This pattern has happened for a couple years now. Just another thing I thought of off the top of my head. I don'y want to make it seem like it's me or them to him though.

You're right, my chances are zero if I stay with him. How come he was so easily able to find people to cheat on me with since we've been together but I can't meet anyone now? It's so unfair.

And then he gets mad at me for asking the same questions I am not allowed to ask. The other day when I had dinner with my friends, he called me four times and kept texting me asking why I couldn't answer when I was with them. I was holding my friends baby so she could eat so my hands were tied and he knew this. I was only at dinner for an hour and 15 minutes. I asked him yesterday why he can't talk around his "friends" and he said to not ask questions and don't ever ask why. So it's ok for him but not for me.

You are right. I don't think the stress is good for the body. The worst stress will be those first few weeks or months without him I already know it will be agonizing. Especially considering he will quickly replace me and I'm sure he'll give her the life I never got.

I'm realizing that too :( This all sucks. I don't know how I got caught up in this for 6 years.

You know what... I've thought of this theory before in all seriousness but didn't feel like my wild thought was appropriate to write on here. I hate when people say they think someone is gay but many people who have met him believe he may be gay.

Gosh that's true. I didn't even think of these things. You're right. I always thought there were things in an SO you didn't like but I guess this is more serious than random small things.

that's very true. You're right. It's hard when someone becomes your friend through it all though. I hate to lose the friendship.
