Am i a fool?
| Fri, 10-15-2004 - 4:54am |
to cut a long story short, my girlfriend gave me herpes. she has always insisted that she has never had any symptoms and has no idea who she got it from, but i have since found out that she caught it from a one night stand and has had several out-breaks over the last year or so. she doesn't know that i know this, and shows no sign of telling me the truth.
she is the only person that i've ever slept with and i love her. she loves me too, and i guess i can understand why she doesn't want to spoil what we've got be telling me the truth. what i want to know is, am i being a fool by trying to forget about all of this & ignoring the fact that she has lied to me about such a big issue? about something that is going to stay with me forever?

It's amazing this girl wasn't honest about her condition prior to your "close encounter!"
Having said this...you both need to get checked over...and try to remember who else you've 'come in contact with!' If there are others...they deserve to know about the infections.
Whether you want to consider seeing this woman (or not) is strictly "a matter of trust" (quoting Billy Joel here). If she can lie about the herpes...I suppose she can stretch the truth about other things too?
