Today, my boyfriend was really stressed about a guy he works with being a jerk. I told him "if you ignore something long enough, it won't bother you anymore." His response was "I've ignored my herpes for a long time but it still bothers me." We've been having sex for 3 months now. FML

You should have had him get tested first.

And that's why they give all these classes on safe sex. All for naught, apparently. Condoms. Look into them. Testing. Look into it. Also, your bf for the fail. Good honesty there, jackass.

#37 - I think I would be offended if things were getting hot and heavy, then the girl asks, "You don't have Herpes, do you?" It would kill the mood for me. Most people just assume that if the person knew they had it they would bring it up beforehand.

For all of you who are giving the poster a hard time: you can still be using protection and contract herpes -- it's a skin to skin contact. If the person hasn't had any outbreaks, you also have less of a chance of contracting it. It's true that this is why it's important to be tested, but maybe the poster asked and the partner lied.

Getting back to the real issue, "if you ignore something long enough..." is TERRIBLE advice. See 'pushover,' 'carpet,' and 'walk-all-over-you.' There is a reason ignoring and ignorant are so similar. If somebody is treating you like a jerk and you just ignore it why would you expect anything to change? Ignoring it might even be encouraging the jerk indicating what they are doing is acceptable behavior. You need to grow a spine. It is hard to have any sympathy for somebody who expects life to just be handed to them and then complains when they receive a crummy hand. Sorry. For your sake I hope you avoided getting stuck with herpes.

I read that as "brother" instead of boyfriend first for some reason. It made it all the more disturbing. Yes, you should always use protection. No protection does not keep you in the clear 100%. You can still get pregnant and/or contract STDs even if you're doing everything "right."
