About 3 years ago my gyno diagnosed me with herpes, which I got from my ex-husband. (Who to this day denies he has ever tested positive) I went in with non-painful bumps that were tested and came back negative. But a blood test came back positive. Twice, I have been to the gyno when I thought that I might have had an outbreak and both times he said they were just ingrown hairs.
Since being divorced, I have been with a wonderful man. When we first became initmate, a year ago, I told him that my ex left me with something that I didn't want. I don't remember what else I said, because I was so caught up in finally breaking past the friend zone, and we were also a little buzzed. I remember he said that that was ok, and we all have to deal with things in life we don't want to deal with. Everything since has been fine, and we've enjoyed each other very much. We've never talked about it since the first time.
A few weeks ago he told me that he had a rash on his penis that hurt to touch. He thought it was because he's been swimming in the pool a lot, and he wore new underwear without washing first. He went to the dr and was given a cream, which cleared it up.
When I met up with him a few weeks ago, I wanted to bring up the fact that I don't remember what I told him about my diagnosis. But for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to talk to him about it. I then wrote it down and was going to call him. Again, I chickened out. We saw each other this weekend, and I thought for sure I was going to muster the courage, but his sister was with us for the weekend, so I couldn't talk initmately.
I don't know what my problem is! I can usually talk to him about anything! We are good friends who took our relationship to the next level. I love this man!! He's so awesome and we have such a good time together! I just don't know how to start this conversation. I figured sending an email or writing a letter wouldn't be appropriate. I know talking in person is the best, but would talking over the phone be ok? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks
