How come women ask you to be honest but then get mad at you when are!?

My wife and I have been married for about 3 months now... We had a relatively short engagement and only met a year ago...

Well recently she had an outbreak of herpes... Now, I have had them for years, but I thought, being that we were having sex for a year with no symptoms/outbreaks, I was in the clear... I guess I was wrong.

So she confronted me about it... So I told her that I did have it... Then she asked me why I never told her... And I was 100% honest and told her it was because I knew that she would never let me go "raw dog" if she knew I had herpes...

I told her the honest truth, and get this, she was still mad! i don't get it, she asked me to be honest, and I was, yet she is still mad... I would have been better off lying... I just don't get women.

    My man... It seems like you were a stand up guy here... She has NO RIGHT to be mad at you!

    She's not mad b/c you told her the truth she mad b/c now she has it! The truth has nothing to do with her being mad! She's just hurt. She'll get over it but it will take some time. That is a pretty serious subject to keep from your wife or the one you're sleeping with. I'm not sure how I would have reacted... B/c I am upset that my cousins come over when they have a break out b/c I do not want it it also does nothing for self esteem and some people maybe even your wife may need to keep all that she has. It is very contagious and as you know not a nice thing to live with. You could have taken meds. so that she wouldn't have gotten it or taken steps to be sure she would have been safe from it but you did not and that's pretty selfish. You are going to have to buy her some flowers, cook her a nice candle lite dinner and really go above and beyond to make this up to her b/c something like this you can not take it back from her now. I would be devastated and livid!

    I got diagnosed with herpes (type 2) about five yrs ago, while I was still attending college and had a stupid one-night stand. I understand a lot of young ladies will declare this, but I swear I had certainly not done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with someone who has sores around her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/LoU7v everything improved.

    Not only was I able to remove all traces of the herpes virus from my body in less than three weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just last week, in front of everybody in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This method gave me back the opportunity to be happy and experience true love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the World.

    I commend you for being honest with her but i think she is mad because you did not tell her right from day one or later in the relationship when you started have sex.

    STDs are not something you hide from somebody you love, you should tell the person so that both of you can find the best way so that the other party does not contact it.

    Please apologize to her, with time she will cool off.

    Take care and good luck with her

    Ummm,you'll have to forgive her anger because surely you can understand that she just found out she caught a life long disease from you. I am sure you were not a happy camper when you first got it and probably would have wished that person had given you fair warning. You should have told her from the get go. Even if she finds a way to forgive this she'll be wondering what other secrets you been hiding from her and worrying what else might come out that she should have known before saying I do.

    What an incredible douchebag you are. You should consider yourself lucky that she's only steamed at you and hasn't cut off your meat and two veg. Either you were retarded to begin with or the herpes has infected your brain. You gave your wife herpes. You dick.

    I dont think that is something that you can really lie about anyway.....it's kind of obvious. Also, I really hope this is a joke. Not telling your wife about it bc you wanted to go "raw dog" that is so unbelievably selfish I can't even comprehend it.

    She has every right to be mad at you........What was you thinking?

    Herpes is treatable but not curable. Do you realize that herpes is for life!!!!!!!

    Would you of still feel sorry for yourself if you had given her HIV?

    Also if you two do decide to have children....herpes will be passed on to your children, which will give them medical complications, even life- threatening for babies.

    Holy ****. This is why you dont get married until you really know eachother. Things like this SHOULD be discussed BEFORE marriage. Now you need to get educated on this herpes thing and help her to feel better about having it now, compliments of you. I'd be pissed too.... you marry a dude, raw dog it and then get herpes from your husband. WOW
