Said he is lonely and moved in with another women with three children. Then he tells me he is hepatitis c positive. This as you can imagine came to a complete surprise to me. I have been heart broken and feel completely used for everything he took me for. But most if all for possibly giving me a life long disease. Please give me some advise on how I go on. I am 48 yrs old and he is 31 and he has turned my world upside down.Sincerely,A lost soul

 Wow, I'd be GLAD to be rid of him!
And I would without fail go talk to your doctor about getting tested. It might require more then one testing (3 months and 6 months) Be proactive about your health.
As for him. Good riddance.

 The risk of you catching Hep C via sexual intercourse is tiny and unless you have shared needles, razors etc it's a very slim chance that you have contracted it. Hep c is also treatable in most cases, but you need to get tested as soon as possible.
As for the relationship breakdown, you just need time to get over it. You are still a relatively young person and have the potential to meet someone new in the future.
Your ex does not sound like he was a good catch anyway so in time, you might be glad things ended when they did.
Give yourself some time to sort yourself out, get your health checked, make new connections with family and friends and take good care of YOU.
This too shall pass!

I'm sorry this has happened. This is such shoddy behavior from him, and he really is the lowest of the low if he knew he had it and didn't say something to you.
But whatever you do, you must not let this drag you down. Firstly, you clearly need to make an appointment (assuming you haven't already done so) with the doctor and get yourself tested. Secondly, I would make contact with a lawyer with a view to taking legal action against the man if possible, certainly if he has given you this. He should be made to pay for it.
Finally, and most importantly, you should probably make an appointment with a counsellor so you can speak about this with someone in real life. You're not a lost soul, and there is no reason that through taking your time and making sure you don't slip into depression, that you can't move on from this and come out much stronger.
Just please, don't spend forever dwelling on this one man. He's not worth it.
