Today, I drove 2 hours to spend the night with a man who I have been seeing for a few weeks. We had sex for the first time. About an hour later, he told me he wasn't really into me and asked to be friends. Then, he apologised because he has herpes. FML

The dude is a scumbag. First that he had you drive two hours for a booty call, second that he waited until afterwards to tell you he just wanted to be friends, and third that he didn't tell you that he has an STI until after you had sex. That said, this is a reminder that you always use a condom when having sex, especially with someone new.

Condoms don’t protect against all STDs, including herpes.

OP, I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you . the same thing happened to me in a previous relationship . I was in that relationship for a year wjth my partner before they told me . I hadn't had any symptoms of it for that year , got tested and it was confirmed I had it . Now and then I do get the.. symptoms . . And it really sucks . that guy is a douche and I'm so sorry that he did this . I hope you didn't contract the std from him . if it's any consolation, I am in a happy relationship where my spouse doesn't have it , and we've been together for 5 years . I hope that knowing the possibility of love and such is out there after thus . after all , herpes is just a painful skin condition. It's not life threatening , it's not terminal , and it's not even a constant thing . there are plenty of treatments , but as noted in the comments , it is a forever thing . but it can be rendered or even simply stay dormant . if you need to vent , you can message me:)

Sorry OP, YDI- kinda. STIs are the well-known risk of having sex with people you don't know well. Asking you to travel for 2 hrs at night is a big red flag- people who genuinely want a relationship are upfront about these kinds of things and don't ever booty call. I really, really hope you haven't caught it- best of luck.

Who the **** sleeps with some one they’ve only known a few weeks? This one is on you.

Op says that they've been seeing each other for a few weeks . doesn't mean she hasn't known them for much much longer , and things could've been a platonic dynamic before this .

I don't know. I would have done it earlier, too.

Every person who has had a one night stand ever lol. And hellooooooo knowing someone for an extended period of time before sexing them doesn’t guarantee your safety. A comment above says they were with someone an entire year before their partner disclosed the information. Don’t be daft hun. The only way to be sure is to go get tested together.

I gotta ask did you ever skype or ANYTHING like that or just find him on craigslist or tinder and drove over? if this was me Id be at urgent care if he waited to you he had one STI WHAT didnt he tell you? am i the only one wondering if hes married

I would speak with a lawyer... Willful transmission of a virus is a crime in most states. If you fail to inform someone before consenting to sexual activities you are held liable.

Isn’t that illegal on his part?

Okay being honest here, the fact that he's the one who had you drive to him in the first place, is a huge red flag.
