I was on vacation with a friend who got cold sores over the last 5 days. Now my throat feels sore. Is there a good chance I caught herpes?
There’s a chance we shared a water bottle or a vape.
How long until it shows up?

Im going to try to make this short so will try to make my longer points brief.
I was talking with my roommate about how in my eyes a man must be a gentleman for me to consider him a man. Otherwise I see them more as boys. I believe they should always regard woman to arguably a higher respect simply based on gender. Out of respect for their mothers if that makes sense. As well, to always be protective of woman. For example, a group of men at a party called me over as though I were a cat with a “kss, kss, ksss”. I calmly told them it’s disrespectful and felt honestly like I was talking to a bunch of high schoolers as I did it. My point would be that the other guys who witnessed this (group of 4) should have told the one who I guess catcalled me to shut the fuck up, rather than me having to return to them to let them know (was shocked and confused when I heard it so kept walking while I processed it). Another situation was a guy boasting about sexually harassing a few girls to get them to fuck off because they kept hitting on his friend who wasn’t interested. I told him it crossed a line and a man should always be a gentleman. I wasn’t there, but I’m certain they could’ve gotten out of that situation without sexually harassing the girls.
My roommate told me she believes it’s an equality type of thing, where she expects both woman and men to protect each other etc. so both held to the same standard. I agree, being a woman does not give you a jail-free card to be an asshole, and there’s definitely some psycho ladies out there. As well as situations where a woman can protect a man. I guess my point is a man should never resort to violence unless he absolutely must for his own or others safety, and even then restraint is better than violence. I’m speaking generally, as there will always be odd cases. A manly thing to do would be to leave the situation and create boundaries. Hopefully the woman will learn to be better. I guess the ideal would be for a man to always treat woman with respect out of principle, and if the woman is disrespectful, to try to get out of the situation rather than stooping to her level.
This got into an interesting discussion on gender and what should be expected. I think there is a difference between a woman and a man, and I guess it goes back to primal times when the men would need to protect women. Of course, men can have what society has defined as feminine qualities and a woman can have masculine. That does not make them any less of a man or woman. There’s always nuance. Transgender people are a good example of this nuance! So this is more of a statement that I think applies to most people rather than all.
And of course people generally should try to be good to one another, regardless of gender. But this doesn’t take away that man and woman are generally wired differently and hold different responsibilities, with exceptions and nuance considered. Is this a possible stance considering these exceptions and nuances, or does that throw my argument out the window?
Anyway, interesting discussion and confusing to maneuver so would love to hear others thoughts on the subject!
A few times already I heard him have a girl over late at night. It was just talking and then sex. It wasn’t too bad and didn’t last too long, it wasn’t often in the week.
Tonight (Monday, 1:30am) they’re playing what sounds like a bad music mix, like electronic and laughing/talking. It’s pretty clear. Definitely sounds like in the next room but so clear still!
It’s not a big deal now because I have insomnia and will be going on a three week trip at the end of the week but it’s so annoying. I’m more so worried about it becoming a regular thing. Either he doesn’t realize, or doesn’t care. I’m thinking he might be a long term neighbour and if this is his girlfriend, might become a regular occurrence.
Should I knock on the wall when I notice it and it’s obviously at an inconsiderate hour? Or try to figure out his entrance to leave a note? We just share the block, not an apartment building. We’re on the third floor but his apartment entrance is probably on the street.
Tonight is definitely very inconsiderate if I was trying to sleep. Maybe he doesn’t realize there’s a bedroom on the other side of the wall? I often have late nights but try to be quiet! For my roommates sake at the very least, but would still be quiet for neighbours! Especially on a weekday night at 1:40am now. It sounds like they’re watching videos or something and the girls laughing so often omg it’s very annoying because it feels like we’re sharing a room or something.
Should I call someone to complain and hope they hear through the wall lol
