After the third date she txted me that she has HSV2 and that I could stop seeing her if I wanted. Instead I had a week long depressive anxiety attack. I made it all about me and didn't care about her feelings at all. I had a blood test and it turns out I have HSV1 so hows that for the pot calling the kettle black? I doubt she will ever talk to be again. She was such a wonderful person. Why do I do such stupid things?</P> Sun, 23 Feb 2025 06:41:00 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/staying-well/fear-of-std-s-ruined-relationship/m-p/607324#M61005 Regrets 2025-02-23T06:41:00Z Re: Fear of STD's ruined relationship https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/staying-well/fear-of-std-s-ruined-relationship/m-p/607360#M61008 <P>Hi Regrets,</P><P>Welcome and thank you for reaching out to us.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>How sure are you that you have blown it?</P><P>If she is a wonderful person as you say, perhaps she has the capacity to talk it through with you.
