Old Love
by Anonymous
I'm 23 years old. I just found out that I have herpes yesterday after 4 days from the last oral sex I had with my ex boyfriend who I'm currently dating casually for 5 months after 3 years of breaking up with him. When I broke the news to him yesterday, he was shocked but he said he is willing to take the responsibility.
We are going through this together and I hope that this is a blessing in disguise. I hope that this will strengthen back our relationship. I was depressed and still am. The blisters hurt so much especially when I'm trying to urinate but I'm trying to cope with it.
My best advice is to read all you can on herpes. It will make you feel better the more you know about it, because we fear things that we do not know. We are going to see the specialist next week for follow up and to get my partner examined as well. We believe it is important to know what we are up against.
