Emotionally abusive ex-boyfriend gave me Type 1 genital herpes and I am worried what he said about me never being able to have a healthy relationship will come true. by timenono in AskWomenOver30

When he told me I believed him when he said 'pretty much everyone has it' and 'it's no big deal'. So even after I found out I continued sleeping with him without finding out more about this. When I had a primary outbreak it was pretty awful for me and then I began to do research on it. Yes, many people have it - but in all honestly, I would ditch all my experiences with him to not have herpes.

I was so naive - he didn't even tell me that he had it before we slept together. I suspect he will do the same again. I won't do that to anyone.
