I have been seeing this woman for a couple months, we have only been sexually active with each other. Have had sex multiple times both protected and otherwise. She would often describe feeling itchy after having sex with me, but it would subside pretty soon. I was doing okay. Recently, I had some sores which I thought were friction burn tears and were getting pretty painful. I got an entire panel of tests which all came out negative. When the sores weren't healing, I got a swab and it turned out to be HSV2.

She is asymptomatic and is going to get a blood test, but it's unclear to either of us how this happened. I am immunocompromised due to Crohn's disease and so I'm thinking I got it from her or I just had it before and it didn't show.

I got my positive test and diagnosis a few hours ago and nothing is making sense. I have been seeing my girlfriend since February and she had reported feeling itchy spots after having sex with me. I was doing completely okay. We both got tested and it was negative. We are in an open relationship, and while I was travelling for an extended period of time she met and was intimate a woman who we later got to know was HSV2 positive. My girlfriend tells me no genital contact was made and I have no reason to think she’s lying. After I came back, we started having sex and she mentioned feeling itchy again and this time I noticed some painful red ‘tears’ on my foreskin. I thought these were friction burns and figured they’d subside on their own. So I did get tested (no swab) and everything came out negative. However the sores weren’t healing and getting increasingly painful, so I went in to see another doctor who did swabs and gave me antiviral medication. I got my positive results and I was absolutely not expecting it. I’m wondering if my partner lied to me. If she is negative and I’m positive, then did I have it before her and somehow it was activated? There’s just too many questions and I feel like I’m all over the place. She is currently feeling fine but I’ve asked her to get tested ASAP.

Pistons have been replaced to because of the known oil burning issue. This would be my first car and I’m unsure if it’s a good deal. What are the main things to look out for when inspecting the car? It’s been maintained really well with regular oil changes and inspections. Is it a good deal? I’m trying to negotiate down to 6k, but I don’t think they’ll agree.

I haven't seen the car in-person but the current offer stands at 6.5k. I looked at the carfax report and it says the car was in a severe accident in 2009, but since then has been fine and serviced regularly. This would be my first car and I'm thinking I'll bring a mechanic with me to take a look at it, but I was wondering if this is a fair price?

I wanted something to rep my city with. Personally I love the fact that the area code is 404, and something related to that would be dope. I saw Nike had Air Maxes which were Atlanta themed but they didn't speak to me that much. I would like to support local artists and creators, so please share any cool designs or products!

Its been about two months since I (25M) recently started dating a girl (27F) and it's been going pretty well. I'm currently a PhD student so I don't make a lot (~37k) and she has a regular job (~80k). I usually pay for all our dates and but she occasionally pitches in for things here and there. She also has a car and I don't (planning on getting one soon though), so we use her vehicle which she pays gas for. I buy her gifts occasionally which aren't crazy expensive, but they add up. I don't think I've gotten anything from her yet. I feel like I am investing a lot more financially into this relationship which is putting some strain on me, and I am not sure how to bring this up to her. We are quite open about money, and I see a future with this woman which is why so far I have been okay paying for her, but I would like a more equitable distribution going forth. Any advice on how to navigate this conversation from folks who have gone through this?
