Hey Julia, I feel for you, I've been there hun! If he didnt inject (although he could be fibbing, as it is a shameful thing to admit to).. then chances are you are at very low risk. From what I remember, the serious diseases can take 3 months to show up, so you'd have to get retested anyway. As for STD's, I caught GH off an ex and that took a month to show up (and they swab you for it, so they wouldnt have been able to tell before hand). But we did use a condom, so hey, it can happen even when you are being sensible!

I thought.. "Aaahhh.. " when you said his Dad died young. All my unhappy/toker ex's all had absent fathers. The worst was the guy whose Dad left when he was 2. Major abondonment issues. That kind of thing takes a lot of therapy and this guy sounds like he is stuck in child mode, wanting to blot out some pain. I was always the 'rescuer' type, so I was like a moth to the flame for those types of guys. They certainly can be very alluring in their wounded moodiness..! Like someone said.. Listen to what he's really saying?

I'm with you.. Lea, do you have a thread, or are you on the Alt universe??
