After four years of his nonsense, he broke up with me, trashed my parents house, broke my car window and took my cellphone. He took my umbrella because he got it for me.

  • For Covid-19? For pregnancy? For some StD? Either way you have to tell him.

    • She has said it

  • Not the umbrella. Oh well, I guess it’s time to sleep with clean dudes for now on.

  • In the old days a singing telegram would have been just the thing. Or tell him you are 3 months pregnant. Then the STD thing is pretty minor thing. Other than that depending on which country you are in not saying anything can get you into legal issues if you have had relations with him since you got it. If not blame it on endometriosis flare up, no sex for a while and wait til the antibiotics have done their job.

    • Aoky.

  • Tell him!

  • This is a tough question considering this can go both ways , by telling him you are taking the chance of losing him as a boyfriend and making him panic like crazy , he will more than likely go get tested to make sure he didn’t get it from you. He isn’t going to enjoy having sex with you anymore cuz now he will be freaked out that he will catch the STD from you The other thing is you might of caught this STD from him , so it depends on how serious this STD is , If it’s minor and treatable like herpes etc. I wouldn’t say a word to him , but if it’s serious then you have to tell him

    • I take it your STD is serious for him to flip out like that?

  • Which orifice became infected?

    • Lol :D

  • O boy u fucked up. Come clean. The gig is over. Stand up and take responsibility for your actions.

    • Well if she came clean she wouldn't be in this mess lol

    • @wondering_guy Well played sir

    • Thanks.

  • You need to tell Him so He can take precautions. If You cheated then all I can say is shame on You and hope You realize that everything eventually comes out in the end.

  • The best way too tell him something like that is "before" you have unprotected sex with him.

  • Yes, you legally have to tell him... also STOP CHEATING!!!, that's just nasty

    • if you have one. their is a good chance he has it also. if you have been sexual interactive together recently.
    • unless you cheated on him and got it from your partner before you started dating him.
    • ideally you should tell him so he can also get tested.
    • but some of them can be cured or treated if you act quickly.
  • Write it on a cake.

  • Just tell him you used to date players and bad boys and let him figure it out.

  • you must tell him before it's too late. He might find it his way and you'll regret the consequences.

  • You have to tell him. I am a believer in don't ask, don't tell on one's past, but an STD can harm him.

  • Tell him. Or he can return it to you if you decide to get medication. Hopefully it's curable.
    And don't cheat again.

  • So you cheated or had it before meeting him?

    • I accidental cheated.

    • So u accidentally fell on a dick? U don't accidentally cheat. You choose to.

    • Hahaha your funny ~

  • There is definitely no question of should. I'd recommend wait for a moment you are both alone and relaxed. Express to him that you have something important to discuss with him concerning you. Using a calm relaxed voice inform him before you go into it how you are feeling concerning bringing this up to him. Example: Stressed, Nervous, Insecure, Sad etc. This will prepare him for what you are about to tell him. It is imperative that you use effective communication when you address this. I don't know anything about him, but for me if my girl expressed to me how she felt before opening up to me I would be concerned and want to comfort her. It's definitely a trial for your relationship and there is no real way to predict how he will react. Yet, if you two make it through this. It will say a lot about the strength of ya'lls relationship. After you have informed him of the predicament, listen to what he has to say. If he pulls back, do not pressure or chase him to talk to you. If he needs time to process what's going on, give it to him and wait. Also, with that in mind, do not compromise your boundaries. Yes, you want to listen to him but if he is losing his temper or speaking derogatory you do not have to listen to that. Explain to him that you understand he is upset but that you are going to give him some time to cool off. Then leave. I will be praying for your situation.

  • Just tell him hey there's something I need to tell you, explain the situation and tell him to get tested too. Been there done that. You'll be fine.

  • Did you cheat on him?

    • Only with three guys.

    • asker - is a hoe and a slut too so watch out for her if you know what is good for you

    • @MissDawn7961 Oh ok well good luck
