My Truth

[SOLI2DEParticipant 746]

First off I must say that I’ve always liked Batman. Something about being alone and dark and focused while going your own way just drew me to him ever since I was a little boy. So here we go…

I already made my introduction but I needed to share this here. This past October I turned 33 and on my birthday I received a call from a nurse telling me I tested positive for Herpes Type-2. She said that it’s not a death sentence. Theres no way I could tell who I got it from or how long I had it because I just got on my feet and went a long time without medical and any visible symptoms. I did inform my last two partners and contemplated a life of solitude. Then I joined a dating site for people with the same condition who didn’t want to constantly deal with rejection afterdisclosjing status to possible future sex partners. I met a lady online 9 days later and I thought this was great even though we were 4 states apart. I got in real deep emotionally and to make a long story short someone told me about the red pill. I did my research and saw the fact in my interactions with women in all of my relationships as well as my personal failings(occasional simping, trying to white knight, etc.) I realized that I must be on my own, develop myself as well as live with this. I took the red pill and as each day goes by I grow stronger emotionally and place myself first as top priority. I don’t need to be dating or try to play this game. I need to focus and develop myself and live a rewarding life. I mentioned Batman earlier because I was drawn to being the type of person that kept to themselves and excelled in my passion and just maintained. I may be rambling but I had to share my story and the cards I was dealt and how I deal with it. Guess its a good time to go be Batman!!!

Good realization, M_O_W. Yes, that first bite can be hard, knowing that you are giving up something that used to fill a need inside you. Just a day or two ago in a thread about one-itis, I wrote about having experienced a deep insecurity in former days, which propelled me into unsafe relationships and triggered “one-itis”, or the feeling that “she’s the one and only”.

Good for you to realize that you need to spend time on your own, rather than get back into dating quickly. You should expect all sorts of uncomfortable (blue-pill) feelings to come up to try to shake you back into your old way of doing things. (not to mention people who use these feelings of yours to manipulate you) Be aware that they will surface. Let them, and then let them go too. Go Your Own Way. Be Batman.

p.s. Herpes is one of those things that lies dormant if your body is in good health. I have cold-sores which I picked up from my ex, and are just a different strain of Herpes. I know that they only come when I’m bad shape. Stay healthy!

I can relate. My story is a lot like yours.

I too have had STDs, but nothing incurable. It is a major factor in my giving up dating. The real reason was all the emotionally charged drama that goes along with dating. I just plain got tired of it. Years later, a pal told me I was a MGTOW, a term unknown to me until then.

Good point! Stay up on your vitamins, minerals, and foods that are good for you.
I have been told sugar is associated with herpes outbreaks, but can’t verify this.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?
