Right!?!? I'm surprised this comment isn't further up.

Ima call 🐂💩

Yeah, I agree with that I more than likely would have picked up on it but it is also a two way street and they should have communicated their discomfort.

Also, I would completely understand if they left and probably would have went with them.

lmao, you're just all over the place. Tell me, what does pointing out that the world didn't end when people voted for one political party over another reveal about me?

HSV-2 is apparently pretty common. I think 1/4 chances?

To OP: I dated a woman who had it. We had been on 3-4 dates and I could tell she was hiding something. So she finally told me she had the virus, this was before having sex, and I thanked her for being honest.

If this story is true, it will take a lot of courage to tell people, but that is your burden to bear. You will definitely come across people who don’t want to continue dating you, but you will also find some that will.

That woman I met is now married and seems as happy as I can assume over social media.

Good luck. Have courage. Keep looking.

So instead if comparing each other's experience of dating women, they have made a conclusion completely out of the blue that women have some sort of glass roof of requirements towards men eventhough any non-violent hygienic unemployed would do? I would love to dig in the root reason why that had happened. It sounds rather dangerous tbh.

I don't think it's about expecting the other to be experienced or even a non-virgin but these experiences are a big part of masculinity most of the times. Mostly everyone wants to feel desired, and if that just never happens, I'd imagine it's hard to break the loop and suddenly turn into attractive dude in the eyes of the other. The feel of being desired often helps the self-confidence which is attractive feature. But again, this is just my experience as a man so it's not your widely researched knowledge about manhood and such.

Shoe sizes are kind of like clothing sizes. They vary by manufacturer and brand. You could have an issue where your feet are exceptionally wide, requiring size 10 shoes in brands that run narrow. This is why you try shoes on rather than just running out of the store with a box in your hands.

Also, who the f has Christmas dinner at 9:30, without at least doing a big breakfast or appetizers earlier in the day. How did OP not eat??

I have empathy. For the victim. The woman who trusted her friend after having someone previously sexually assault her only for this friend to turn around and sexually assault her too.

You can have empathy for the assailant as much as you want, you can defend his actions and try to make him feel better for assaulting a woman but at the end of the day he did assault her. There's no changing that and if you're willing to condone the assault and give him a pass for his actions then you're part of the problem.

You just wanted to have sex. That's normal.

Besides I thought there was no reliable way to test men for HPV, so how would he know he has it.

He should sell his story to an abstinence only sex education textbook manufacturer.

Surprised she also didn't get pregnant.

Wow, way to say more about yourself than I could possibly have elicited. Honestly, I've not seen a better example of projection in a long time.

Keep your daughter away from that psycho.

I don't understand how her BF didn't pick up on anything. Sounds like dead weight to me and she'd be well shot of him.

Yeah you're right...

She probably doesn't ooze anywhere near as much smugness as you.

Amen

Haha, that example was meant to trigger psychopaths like you. Voting Republican doesn't kill anyone, just like voting Democrat doesn't kill anyone.

Your problem is that you think you're morals are superior even though they consist of a single activity every 2 to 4 years that has no impact on anything. Trump was in office for 4 years. The world didn't end. Obama was in office for 8 years. The world didn't end. Casting a ballot in a free country isn't a choice between right and wrong. It's more like the choice between soup or salad.

I'm sorry that your family is dysfunctional and so cannot get along without extreme limits on the words that can be said. That has to be stressful and exhausting.

A couple of people have already told you how to salvage the situation. I'd like to give some advice on how to prevent such things in the future, not just with romantic relationships but human interaction in general. Obligatory "based on my experience" and YMMV.

When I was your age (c. 2004) I had recently/would soon come to a few key realizations. Most key, and last learned, was that by constantly overthinking how who might react to which potential situations to the point of in-the-moment paralysis wasn't just holding me back now, I was actively ruining my future. Yes, actively ruining by not acting. Secondly, the -vast- majority of people will have no recollection of the things that you consider so majorly embarrassing they keep you up at night. Finally, and this is more a corollary of the second point, the people that do remember those intactions are extremely focused on how they acted or failed to act. Just like you do.

I'm pushing 40, married my very extroverted best friend 15 years ago, and am still very much an introvert. I also tend to sleep peacefully at night. Well, not night, but that's because I worked third shift until my knees disintegrated
