Question:
I just needed to vent to you guys. I caught herpes from a woman I'm still seeing and I don't think that we will be together long. She is almost done with nursing school and she is giving me every indication that she is going to be a traveling nurse and doesn't want to live in this area. I felt fine after the initial shock of being diagnosed as long as we were together, but now I'm feeling like no one else would ever want me. I'm just having a low day. I do think that it sucks that she gave this to me and will probably just go on with her life and leave me to deal with this alone. I think she is being selfish, but there isnt much I can do about it. I'm not sure if I should go ahead and break things off with her or just see if she might change her mind after nursing school is over. She only has until January. What would you guys do? I'm confused. :confused:

Answer:
In my opinion you shouldn't stay with someone just because you have the same disease. I say that knowing all too well how scary it is to get back out there in the dating scene knowing that everytime you meet someone you really like you know there's a possibility that this person may not want to deal with the "herpes thing". In the end, you deserve better than that and so does she. Everyone has a low day and I'm definitely not downplaying how you feel. But if in your heart you know she isn't "the one" then this will be your opportunity to find the woman that is and that woman will accept you warts and all.

Hi lilanne19
Thank you for your comment. I wouldn't stay with someone just because we have the same disease. I really like this girl a lot. I've decided to hang in there with her a few more months and see how things go. I talked with her last night and she maybe moving, but it will only be an hour away. That could be manageable. If its meant to be then things will work out and if it doesn't then I will get through it. I've done it before. ;)
