Hi everyone. I am still processing a lot of emotions over this. This weekend a guy I have known since 2023 and dated called me to tell me he had HSV 2 and never told me. I was supposed to fly to go visit him in March (he lives in a different state, hence why our relationship ended).
We met when I was 23 and he was 29. He got the diagnosis in 2021/2022, and never told me. He ended things with me since he needed to work. He actually reached out to me 10 months later and that's how things started up again. Since 2024 we have been seeing each other every 3 months.
Anyways, he called me this week to tell me he has had HSV2 and never told me. He wanted to tell me before I went out to visit him. I was obviously shocked and beyond upset.
I hate to admit this but I am truly sad. I never plan to ever be with this man again. However, he was genuinely the only man I have ever felt feelings for (he knows this). It's even harder because last week he was telling me how attractive I was, how smart I was, and how he wanted to see me. Like I genuinely am beyond hurt and sad. Has anyone dealt with something similar? I am kind of sad to end this relationship, but deep down I cannot be with someone who wasn't honest with me. Also, how should I react if he reaches back out to me?
