Subject: He Was A Little Off
Dear Steve & Shirley,
Last year I dated my first black man who seemed nice, sweet and mature. I am a creole/latin woman at first I didn’t like him but later I fell for him and he ended up breaking my heart. He preys on nice women and he wouldn’t respect the fact that I wouldn’t have sex unless I was married to him. He hassled me and I eventually gave in to him because I thought I was going to be raped. I felt bad got in trouble with my church and I had to go through a repentance process. In September, I found out I have stage 2 cervical cancer and I tested positive for the 13th highest strains of HPV. I had to have a surgery because the cancer was taking over quickly. My doctor said I couldn’t date this man because he strains were too strong. I was so mad at the time that I stopped talking to him. Recently I saw him and we were intimate. Afterwards I had a fever of 103 and I had blisters the doctor said it was herpes. We used protection and everything. I told him that I had tested positive for herpes and he has been my only sexual partner, he accused me of being with someone else. I told him I was done with him. A month later he moved into my apartment complex and started stalking me. I would see that he had a lot of women going in and out of his apartment so he was spreading the disease. I eventually moved. I just need to know what in the heck this man wants from me. He told me that he really liked me because I was a positive girl and a good Christian. He really messed me up I was naive and what bothers me the most is that he is going around spreading a disease. My doctor said I can’t press charges on him unless he has HIV. Please give me an honest answer Steve I am emotionally broken.
