speaking as someone who has this virus it would be best if you search your heart for the answer rather than leave it to public opinion. that is a major disrespect of your relationship with her. the virus is common and most people don't even know they have it. if you are careful with each other and lead clean healthful lives the risks to you are greatly minimized. as for the comments about waking up with a deformed penis pay them no heed! the virus doesn't operate that way. i am not trying to diminish the seriousness of your concern. the outbreaks can become quite painful for some and virtually undetectable for others. educate yourself on the topic. it is something you have to really think about but instead of asking a bunch of strangers whether or not you should break up with her try asking yourself if you love her enough to accept her. because this is a part of her. packaged deal. if you want her in your life forever then you accept the risks of contracting this forever virus. it's a question only you can be responsible for answering.
my girlfriend has genital herpes but i love her to pieces for who she is. should i stop dating her because of this? . my girlfriend of 2 months recently told me that she has genital herpes. i didn't react badly i tried to support her and tell her that i won't cut her out of my life because of it however i'm stuck on what i should now do. i love her to pieces for who she is not what she has. i want to be able to be with her but i've been worrying a lot about how much we can do with one another before risk of catching it comes in. i have no intentions of catching it but i have every intention being with her.
