One of my best friends got it from a boyfriend who suspected he had it (other former partners told him), but since he didn't have symptoms, he didn't get tested so he had plausible deniability. She is happily married now, and has a 7 year old daughter with her husband. She still gets outbreaks but her husband has never contracted it.

Been there mate. You can talk openly, you just need to slow down in the moment and consider it properly, instead of discarding immediately as "vulnerability = bad". Do it now. Message and say this shit. And for future, rejection doesn't have to be humiliating. The way you handle it is the main factor that decides that, imo. You're just a guy that likes a girl.. a story as old and honest as time itself.

Also you prob didn't ruin her christmas lol.. not to be a downer but if you have 1 girl interested, that girl prob has 5+ guys interested. Is what it is. Just get to her before someone else does!

I've had those kind of conversations with my step-daughters:

Me: Why would you want that?.... Wait, wait, I don't want to know. Don't tell me.

Then I leave the room, fingers in ears, saying "La, la, la...".

As the only male in the household, there is a lot going on that I am blissfully unaware of and I intend to keep it that way. (edited for typo)

For the record I still think it’s odd/naïve to be sleeping next to a person of the opposite gender out of choice. Regardless, I think you’re both young and dumb. I think you both learned a powerful lesson from this and I hope you both come out unscathed. From the sounds of it, you’re never going to make this mistake ever again, all you can do is learn from it, and move on with your life. I wish the best for the young lady as well. Some bad things in life can be for the best. This situation might have been what you needed to put your ass in place and prevent an even worse mistake. This event could have also taught her to be more careful which might save her ass in the future from an actual would be rape. Not all bad things in life are necessarily bad, sometimes those bad things lead to good things.

It’s the first time she’s met the family and at this first meeting, the father waits for her to be isolated and the intentionally starts asking provoking questions to get a response from her? The boyfriend makes sexist comments at her expense (enough to cause embarrassment)?

I don't want to go away scot free, I really do not. And I am thinking about turning myself in. I don't mind having to pay charges, I am fine with getting an entry in my criminal records for this and I am also willing to tell my family and friends about this as soon as I am ready to, which I am moving towards. I'm so afraid of causing any more harm, of making her relive it again. You don't have to tell me that I deserve punishment, that's not the part I'm questioning, it's really really not. But do you truly believe that it would be in her best interest? Because if so, I want to do it. I want to do whatever I can. I'm just not sure about anything anymore is all

Gout is extremely painful. Cancer can be too, but normally takes a while to get there. Gout goes from a twinge in the ball of your foot to "PLEASE CUT MY FOOT OFF NOW!!!" in about a day.

Gout won't kill you. It just makes you wish you were dead. If you have any doubts, a Google image search for it should convince you otherwise.

I pray you never get to know how bad it can be and successfully avoid it your whole life.

From what I understand though, sleeping next to her friends at sleepovers is something she sometimes does. That did not have to mean anything. I don't believe she made a mistake by trusting me to not cross any boundaries and it goes without saying that I did make a mistake in breaking that trust, regardless of what else happened. She never said anything clear about being interested in me and she has been romantically interested in other people in the meantime. Maybe things could have been different, who knows, but that's not what happened anyhow.
