Thanks, Lin. I hear what you are saying.

Did your H approach you to ML early on, or was it just understood between you two that neither one of you were ready?

As far as starting over with someone else regarding the whole herpes thing, I'm honestly not worried about that. That thought hasn't even crossed my mind.... honestly. I had to overcome that fear long ago, back when I first contracted this. I never was with a man who rejected me for it. I was scared when I first got it, but not anymore.

I hope it works out for me, too, Lin. I am certainly not doing this perfectly, but don't you think things are gradually getting a little bit better? I'm in a far better place then I was... both with H and with myself.
