For me I have been living with the diagnosis of Type 2 since October.  I was in a relationship with a guy and he apartently had an outbreak without telling me, just told me he didn't want to have sex (and with our work schedules it turns out we didn't for over a week).  It was shortly after that I had my first outbreak.  I had never had symptoms in the past, but I knew something wasn't right so I went to the doctor.  The hardest thing I had to do (or so I thought) was to tell him about my diagnosis.  I was in tears and he was so supportive, telling me everything would be fine and that it didn't matter to him.  This was a huge relief!  Nothing changed between the two of us. 

However, things turned out to be not so good.  The whole time he started seeing somone else (even though not seriously yet).  The only reason I know this is I had gotten a new job within a month from my diagnosis and we ALL (yes all 3 of us) work together now.  I wasn't aware of this other relationship until the beginning of January.  Things had ended between him and I on New Years and I later found out the real reason why.  When the other female and I finally talked she was able to realize what he had been doing to us the whole time.  I had what really turned out to be the hardest thing to do...I had to tell her!  He wouldn't/hadn't gotten tested while with me and had told her he was clean.  I just found out last week he finally got tested and does have it too. Luckily she doesn't have it.

What frustrates me the most is he is making me sound a slut to her and I just hope not to other coworkers.  This hurts me so much because I was not the one who was sleeping with other people when we were together, and he had an outbreak before me (I know it doesn't mean anything).  I later learned he had cheated many times before in his marriage (no he wasn't married when I was seeing him) and cheated again on the other female.

I feel like he has lied to so much not only to me, but to others.  Fortunately for my other coworker I was honest enough with her so she wouldn't end up like me.  However, I am sure he isn't being so honest. 

Now that I have all that behind me and am starting a friendship with my female coworker, I have come to hit a wall.  I am so scared to start dating again, for more than one reason.  I am not sure how to trust again, I don't want to get hurt like I did.  However, the harder part is how do I date and get into another meaningful sexual relationship with someone?  I don't know I obviously have to share with any partner that I have GH, but I am scared to go through that again.  I am on a daily surpression medication and so far it is going well, but only been on it a month.  I am just all around scared about how this has changed my life for good.  There are only 3 people that know (the guy, the coworker, and my mom).  I feel like I am now tainted and nobody will want to get intimate with me after finding out my secret.  Anyone have any words of wisdom that would be great!
