You have so much more that gets shared in an intimate relationship that goes way deeper than herpes. Right when you get entangled because when you actually get into deep relationship you become emotionally entangled there.

Are plenty of stories out there and examples that I could that I. Could pull from where when the disclosure happens and it comes from a place of. Like openness and like care and I want you to know. I have integrity right all of those things get transmitted in the disclosure talk.

And if that partner is a grown ass man right and isn't gonna blame you. And and and throw stuff back at you and right if that's their personality they're going to. Do that regardless of whether it's herpes or whatever but there are plenty of grown ass people.
