Hi Heartbrokengurl,

Everyone has something, it seems, that could be construed as a “deal breaker”.

I suggest, yes, disclose it, BUT…

Downplay it and mention it in passing.

“By the way, I had issues with an STI problem, no biggie, just have to be careful” versus “I HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS Relationship Killing THING… If you have any questions after your thorough research, feel free to contact me anytime, day or night…”

A lot of it is in the delivery. If you don’t treat it like it’s a big deal, other people will take your cue.

This guy may or may not continue a relationship with you, and it may have nothing to do with your STI going forward. One day you may also meet someone who says, “Me too!”

Good Luck,

Inky
