Fear of rejection/ breaking the news
I’ve been talking to a girl for about a month and a half and everything feels amazing, I haven’t felt this way in a long time and it’s so mutual that it feels unreal. This si the first time I’ve been as intentional as I’m being and I want to do everything right by this person. I’ve even felt inspired to improve vertían things in my life because of this starting relationship. Since I was in my late twenties I discovered I had genitalia warts, and got them removed. Over the years they’ve reappeared every other year but clearly dwindled. I’m 37 now. The last time, last year, only one appeared , small one. Got it removed. 2025 was the snot stressful year ever, I was my dad’s caregiver after his stage IV cancer and I was there for his death il still not fully recovered. So I’m sure stress didn’t help.
I plan on telling her about my HPV, even if it seems like my body has been mostly suppressing it well and I’m on top of it. (I also got vaccinated after the diagnose years ago) It’s also always on pubic area and not on penis/testicles. We haven’t had sex, and I already told her I need to talk about something so there’s no going back and I wasn’t planning on going back on it anyway. I want to do everything right with her. What’s the best way to break the news? I’m terrified of rejection when I feel this much, it breaks my heart to think things will change. But I can’t hide this from her even if it’s very common. She has always highlighted and loved how thoughtful and emotionally mature I am, so I’m not about to stop at this. I just need words of encouragement I guess, I’m potentially ruining this love story but I because I know it’s not my call to make.
