Question:
Where do I begin?? First I want to just start by saying hello to evreyone that takes the time to read this!!! I am new here...new to all of this mess to be quit honest. I just wanted to vent a little bit because I have NOBODY to talk to. The person that passed the lovely joy onto me will not take my phone calls or respond to my emails...so I eventually gave up on trying to get answers from him. He stepped out of the relationship, contracted herpes, and brought it home to me. What a lovely gift to get from someone you love right?? :mad: Now I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. Nobody in their right mind would want to date anyone that knowingly has an STD right??? My entire life I have been known as "the good girl"... and the one with morals. Now I have been black flagged and my life is ruined. I will never be able to date another man, I will never be able to sleep with another person, anything that has anything to do with my life is going to change. I thought that life was hard before, now I am really going to have struggles. ALL because I was blindsided by someone that I loved. :cry: I dont know what to do...please tell me...does this get any better and are there people out there that will not shun me as an outcast because of what he did to me????

Answer:
Welcome to the forums. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this, but keep reading around ... it gets better! What you're feeling right now is anything but atypical. Plenty of us went through that "my life is over" phase, but eventually you do pull out of it and life does go on. In fact, your SEX life can even go on!

I'm sorry you got it in such an underhanded way. What i found most helpful was to spend some time grieving... then get over it! It's too soon for you to know now, but you WILL eventually get to the point where you can move on with your life. The more knowledge you have, and the more you understand about passing it on and controlling it, the more you'll feel in control of your own destiny (which you obviously don't right now). So go ahead and grieve, but keep reading, and work your way out of it!

This is NOT the end of your life... it IS the beginning of a new way of looking at relationships and sex. Welcome!

Answer:
Thank you for your support! I really hope you are right because I dont want to feel like this forever!!

Answer:
Welcome! I cried everyday for over a week. This past weekend I surprised myself when I didn't cry. I had a cry today but I can tell slowly but surely the shock of this is starting to evaporate.

Answer:
Welcome to the forum, you will find a lot of nice people on this forum. I will suggest you read some of the old post in the forums because I feel they are a little more positive than what is being posted recently. Hopefully, it will change and the positive people will resurface. I have only looked at the headings in the forum lately because everyone appears to be so down these days. but, don't worry, life is good and it will get better. You are not damaged goods. You will be very very surprised, their are people that will except you if you except yourself.
Bless You
