I'm new both to this site and herpes. I got this gift that keeps on giving from my boyfriend, who after three years, decided it was time for us to ditch the condoms. After my first outbreak a few weeks ago, he admitted to being the source and then abruptly dumped me exclaiming he "didn't want to cause me anymore pain and it was best that we just be friends." I haven't told anyone else, partially out of fear, partially because I feel that if I'm not sleeping with them, then it's none of their damn business.
I've always been in monogamous relationships, always played it safe, never once had a one-night stand for fear of something like this happening to me. Little did I know that the person closest to my heart would hurt me the most. I've never felt so isolated and alone in my life.
