I have got myself into a very depressing situation. I feel very bad about what I have done, and I am writing to ask any female members to help me with some advice.
I work abroad, and dont see my girlfriend for months at a time. Unfortunately, our relationship has found the long distance quite stressful, and both of us have been feeling quite lonely. I ended up cheating on her...I didnt intend to, it was a low point for me emotionally, and I was persued by someone and had a weak moment and cheated.
From this encounter, which was protected, but involved unprotected genital contact, I have contracted HSV2.
Im currently going through the outbreak. It sucks, and my legs hurt.
Now I have the prospect of telling my girlfriend, and this is truly terrifying me. I love her a great deal, and the thought of losing her over this makes me feel sick - but yes, I am also aware of the fact I badly messed up, and probably dont deserve to be forgiven.
I would like to ask any women reading this, what advice would you give someone in my position?
Thank you.
