First Time Disclosing Herpes

First Herpes Disclosure Tonight so nervous...

A real conversation from the Herpes Opportunity community. For over 13 years, the H Opp forums were a safe space where thousands of people shared their most vulnerable moments. The forums have since sunset, but these stories live on. More in First Time Disclosing Herpes

Little did I know that about 2 years losing my virginity would also mean gaining something in return. We all know what it is! I have had sex with that guy again shortly after him taking my virginity. But that was the only person I've been with in 2 years. I'm currently in a relationship with an amazing man who's a few years older than me and we've been together about 2 1/2 months. It's not a long time but hey a relationships gotta start somewhere right. Tonight is the night that I'm going to him the complete truth about me and my condition. I realize now like many others have, that H has kind of held me back. And obviously it has been the main reason that I have not had sex. I truly believe that my boyfriend loves and cares about me that it wouldn't matter than I have H. IT will not define me or hold me back anymore. I think I've handled this fairly well considering... Thanks to all for the support from here and GOD for his unconditional love and support. :)

We'll be cheering you on! Good luck! You sound like you are in a great place ... just accept his reaction, whatever it is.....remember that is about HIM and who he is, no you ;)

Thank you so much @WCSDancer2010 and @HerryTheHerp. You both are awesome and so helpful to everyone :) I was gonna tell him when he came to my house but idk for sure if he's coming tonight or not. He worked all day and is really tired. But hopefully I can talk to him about it soon. Of course "the talk" has been running through my head for a little while and last night we were watching a movie and I just started crying thinking about it.
