Cold Sore breakout and my boyfriend?

Question

Recently I got a cold sore on my lip (I have had them in the past) and my boyfriend doesnt seem to be comfortable with it. I understand that kissing should not occur and that it is contagious more so when you have a break out. However, his recent reaction really hurt my feelings. He said that he doesnt know if this is something that really bothers him or not. I asked him if my breakouts were going to be an issue in our relationship. and he answered with "undecided". He stated he wanted to do some research on it. That really hurt me. We have been together for over a year and this is the second time I get it in that time. He didnt say much the first time he saw me with a cold sore. I cant help not feeling hurt or worried that he might break up with me over this. Should I be upset or should I be more understanding of his reaction. Cold sores are so common and people should not be treated like its a deadly diease. Need advice...but not rude advice...im hurting enough already.

Answer 1

I feel your pain. My husband is a great guy! But He's really weird with certain things and he'll hurt my feelings because he is so honest. I like that he's honest and I have to remind myself of that when he hurts my feelings. We have been together 18 years now and believe me it does get better. You will learn to overlook it and sometimes you'll get him back! Just try to do research on the cold sores (TOGETHER) and while you're doing that let him know how he made you feel. Let him also know that you're trying to empathize with him, but remind him that these cold sores are not from anything that you're doing wrong and sometimes we can't control natural occurrences! ~ Good Luck to you~

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

You look doing all you could to evade getting them. you additionally can attempt taking lysine as a supplement and taking supplementations. it would desire to help to take valtrex daily as suppressive scientific look after a on an identical time as and notice if that enables you get them decrease than administration - costly, notwithstanding it relies upon how lots they hassle you. regrettably some people merely get them greater - that's not hassle-free. I fairly have genital herpes hsv-a million (comparable virus, distinctive area). Genital hsv-a million recurs on common as quickly as each and every 2 years. 50% of people in no way get a 2nd outbreak. i'm getting a minimum of 6 a 365 days! they are gentle outbreaks notwithstanding that's a soreness. My sister has hsv-a million genitally too and he or she hasn't had an epidemic in years - she went for 6 years devoid of one. i don't know what else i might desire to do. good success besides xx

Answer 7

I can understand that he may want to find out a bit more about it but if he dumps you over this then he is a total *** and you are better off without him. You sound like a really nice person who deserves some1 who is understanding and supportive. And I say good luck to him if he thinks he will ever find anyone in this world who is perfect all the time. We all get breakouts now and again of spots, cold sores and other bits and pieces. Moles, freckles, scars etc that we dont like but if you love somebody, you love them no matter what.
Good luck with everything x

Answer 8

I understand where he is coming from, although he is being a little immature about it....

I wouldn't want to kiss my bf if he had a cold sore and we have been together for 5 years and counting. Cold sore are a herpes virus and I think that they're gross...No offense. My parents get them, but thank god I don't.

He just needs to be more grown up about it...And since he has kissed you already, he is most likely going to catch them from you, Just because he didn't see the cold sore, it was forming before it showed up!

He really needs to get over himself.

Yes, cold sores can be a nuisance; however, as long as you don't kiss or go DL while you have a break out then he has nothing to worry about.

If you lick a match and then place it over the cold sore for a few seconds the sulfur from the match will absorb into the cold sore and will help it to go away a little faster. Also, go to the drug store and get some Lysine tablets and some Abreva. These things will help as well.

If your BF is going to be upset over something so minuscule as a cold sore then he really just needs to be single as approximately 80% of adult population suffer from cold sores. So his options are quite limited.

Answer 10

I dont know, I think that if he really loves you he'd get over it. But I can see why it would bother him... Maybe just try and talk it out with him, see what happens... He can't just hide from the issue. It might help to give him time to think about his answer first. A day or two maybe. And then afterwards make sure you guys discuss it, because the longer this goes on the worse the situation will become.
