Grinch2017 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Hi guys So I've been in therapy since I left my ex 6 months ago and just want to move on! I have been through a lot with exs drugs, missing sex toys, getting an STD (herpes) and emotional abuse. The new man I've met is 32 seems really nice understanding considerate available open realiable interested respectful cute. We've been on two dates food and drinks. He's not into drugs/ weird sex normal job... so ideal Now I've got this far I'm questioning how I can tell him about the herpes without him blowing a gasket. I know it's common, no one wants it, I have a very mild case (1 outbreak in a year). I wouldn't do it till I trust him and of course get to know him more 👍🏼 But I'm just pondering the idea. For now it's once a week dates what's the best timescale to build up trust x Thanks 🙏🏽 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dias Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Tell him when you feel ready but definitely before having sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grinch2017 Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Yes that's the point of the thread of course before it's just obviously a bit of a difficult subject to broach 🤦🏽♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smackie9 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 he would be even more mad if you held off so long when he is invested and wanting to take the next step...not fair. Explain your past to him, about your ex, etc, then say before we take this to the next step, you have to be honest about something, then tell him that your ex gave you herpes. You can't hide from it, it just has to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dias Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I think the best time is the night when you are going to proceed to more than kissing. Before that there is no point, after that it's not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
