Question:
I am so sad. I got the stupid virus from a guy at work, was only gonna be a fling. He didn't tell me anything. 2 days later I find out I have it, it was so painful. I didn't cry though. I told him and he acted as if it were ok and as if he knew he had it but he didn't tell me. That happened when me and my long term boyfriend broke up. I wish we never did. A couple months later me and my x got back together and I told him about it. He was very supportive, and stayed with me. Now we are married, and he is the one being supportive. I feel depressed almost every night about giving it to him, and sad that I got it when I don't deserve it, I'm only 20. My husband says everything is fine and not to worry cause he loves me no matter what. I think that is why I love him so darn much. It still keeps me up late at night thinking about it and sometimes crying. I wish I could change the past, I really do. I wish the guy who gave it to me gets bad things to happen to him. I hate him. I am depressed and need some support. The docs need to find a cure. I don't want this for the rest of my long life...

Answer:
You have husband who loves YOU, just remember that and smile. Not everyone has that. I get what you are saying, but look at the brighter side of life when you feel sad.

Hi dear Depressing

Hope you get this reply/comment..

As others here have said to you, ENJOY the love and support you have from your husband; what a lucky girl you are - others of us have not been as fortunate.

Just a few practical suggestions which you may find useful:
Outbreaks seem to be directly related to our state of immunity. So you have to take care of yourself. I have found that taking 1000mg of Vit C every day has been very helpful (I have had HSV-2 for 4 years); try to eat healthy, get some fresh air every day, and drink lots of water (a learned habit that doesn't come easily at first). Also, when I have an outbreak I am very careful with personal hygiene - especially when you are married and have a partner to consider. I wash the affected parts very thoroughly with soap - even though it hurts - then wash my hands and scrub my fingernails with soap before I touch anywhere else. I pat the area dry with a disposable paper towel, not using the bath towel which I use for the rest of the drying.

So there you are - get yourself healthy and strong, enjoy your lovely marriage partner.. and get on with your life. Herpes isn't the end; it just requires some practical considerations and planning in your life.

Go girl!

Fondly,
Rina.
