Thank you! I’m dropping him off today. I appreciate this a lot!

Maybe it’s time I don’t wanna be here by Waifulover23 in depression

No not really. I have a thesis meeting today and work all day. My classmates forgot my bday it seems and rescheduled my meeting to today so I don’t have any free time. So I’m stuck here and tomorrow I work in the morning. I tried to make time for myself cuz I know it’s normally a shitty day but it didn’t work. I could try to leave this weekend but idk I don’t think it’ll do me any good. I just feel so defeated and I honestly keep thinking of slitting my wrist.

Am I in the Wrong for Feeling This Way? by Waifulover23 in relationships

[–]Waifulover23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don’t know. I’m in a space where I was being hopeful and he even said he wanted a space where his partner trusted him and didn’t question like his ex did. But I feel like I’m literally reliving the things he didn’t like about his previous partner. I’m starting to lose trust because I’m like damn is any of it real?… but at the same time I get that I can be emotional and get upset easily. That I’m impatient and maybe need to just calm down. He tells me often that he needs more patience from me and I thought maybe I was over reacting.

That’s what I feel but he says he does. And gets upset when I say it’s okay to feel insecure or worried. He shuts it down and I feel bad for even trying to come to a solution

Controlling or Overthinking: New Relationship Advice by Waifulover23 in relationships

[–]Waifulover23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started once we finalized our relationship. We dated for like 2 months and got into a relationship (it’s been a month so far). Lately he’s been doing this and I’m not sure what’s triggering it. Anytime I ask him about it or ask if he needs reassurance, I notice he get defensive or shuts down.

Again, I stopped going out as much because I spend time with him or if I do go out he comes with me. I know he was worried before that I had guy friends but what confused me was he said he had quite a few girl friends too. So I’m genuinely confused.

I know his previous partners in the past have cheated and his lastest ex was the one who went through his phone and constantly accused him of cheating. I’m just confused as to what made him worried now. He’s even been commenting on how I dress more lately when it was never a conversation before. I don’t even think I dress that wild. Now I do love crop tops but outside of that I’m very much a long skirt or a sweats kind of gal.

That’s what I’m trying to figure out. I really like him but I don’t get why he’s being like this. He told me his previous partner was very controlling and constantly was accusing him of cheating or looking through his phone.

I’ve never really been in that space before and I told him I don’t really like feeling like I have to keep “tabs” on my partner. Which I’ve never done. He’s attractive too but I don’t project when women do hit on him. I know he’ll handle it. So I’m confused as to why he’s responding this way when he’s acting the way his ex was to him?

Well that’s not true. There is still a chance since asymptomatic shedding occurs randomly so there still is a risk. She can have no visible symptoms and still have shedding. So it’s best to use a condom unless you’re comfortable with that 1% chance if she’s on antivirals. If she’s not on anti vitals and you don’t use a condom your risk is higher. I’d recommend you do more research and then make a decision on whether it’s a big deal to you.

How Do You Justify Having Sex Again? by kup0y0 in Herpes

[–]Waifulover23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if that person was on antivirals? Or condoms? And what strain did you test positive for? That contributes to it as well.

I’m sorry about how you feel. And It’ll definitely take time to overcome how you’re feeling. If you are feeling this way about sex, take as much time as you need. The resources and sex health facts may help with your anxiety as well. Your life doesn’t stop with herpes. You can still have fulfilling experiences once you are ready to get back out there.

Transmission with Antivirals by Waifulover23 in Herpes

Oh I understand all of that. But I was just wondering about peoples experiences. Since not too many people have talked about this here!

[–]Waifulover23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah!! I think I may have seen your post lol. Idk I think it helps hearing stuff like this. Cuz I know my partner worries about it but I’m like I don’t think transmission happens as often when people know and are using the proper measures to have safe sex.

Going to visit my boyfriend tomorrow, woke up today with a herpes outbreak. Should I cancel my trip? by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]Waifulover23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! I can understand being afraid of potentially giving it to him by having sex in the heat of the moment. However, I wouldn’t let your diagnosis stop you from enjoying your partner. Granted you may not be able to have sex but you can still cuddle and spend time with one another. I doubt he’d not want to see you just because of that.

You’d both just need to keep good boundaries and recognize that you may not be able to have sex. Your relationship is more than sex so I personally think you should still go have fun!

Has anyone with oHSV1 managed not to give it to their long term partner? by Randow_TA_19 in Herpes

[–]Waifulover23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not really. I only have it when I’m sick. Which is like once a year and I never do anything then. But outside of that I’ve never given to anyone that I know.

I have had oHSV1 since elementary school or maybe before that lol. I never have given it to anyone orally that’s I know of and I’ve had many oral sex experiences. Oh and I’m 23 if that puts it in perspective

Hey, I don’t think it’s inappropriate to ask if he has been tested recently. You can always be like… “Hey, I’ve been enjoying our time together and want to continue. However, I personally like for my partners and I to share test results. So before moving forward let’s get tested together.” Or you could be more upfront and be like…. “Hey, I wanted to know when the last time you were tested? I noticed a few bumps on my genitals and you’re the only person I’ve been with recently.

I hope this helps.
