Picked up a nasty virus called Herpes over 20 years ago ... the 'lady' in question 'forgot' to mention it!

Told my wife before we married ... she accepted it ok , but we never had a really good sex life ... i didn't want her to get it.

Right now no problem as I'm divorced + no girlfriend.

But ... (and this is the question) i want to meet another lady, have a sex life and maybe marry again.

Basically the Herpes problem only occurs very occasionally now, but i feel i will still have to tell her about it ... difficult one eh?

Well in America, they have a solution to this:

http://diseasedating.com/

but I can't find a UK based one on google. Possibly we are more reserved about this kind of thing.

You could always set up a website of your own to make a million and find love at the same time.

Either that or find out if there are any local support groups in the area that you could go to? They must have female members.

Good Luck!! xx

dearkelja agony auntTo add to Babyduck, the medication will also work to prevent giving the virus to your potential partner. Get some education on the statistics, lots of folks have this virus and it is more common that you think.

People have all kinds of issues and working through these issues with a person you care about is just part of the relationship.

Best of luck.
