My stomach churned as I heard the words coming out of the doctor’s mouth.
He said that I had contracted an infection, one that I had never heard of before. I was confused, and a little scared. How could this have happened? I had only been with my girlfriend for a few months, and we had always been careful.
The doctor said that the infection was a result of unprotected sex and that it was highly infectious. As he said this, my mind raced back to the night before, when we had been intimate without a condom. I felt a wave of anger rush through me, and I knew that I had to confront her about this.
When I got home, I asked her if she had been tested recently. She said that she had, and that the results were all clear. I knew that something was off, so I asked her when the last time she was tested was. She hesitated, and then told me that it had been a while. I knew then that she had been lying to me.
I was furious. Not only had she put my health at risk, she had also been dishonest with me. I asked her why she hadn’t been honest about being tested, and she told me that she had been selling herself secretly. I couldn’t believe it.
My girlfriend had been selling herself for money behind my back. I felt betrayed, and couldn’t believe that she had been doing this the whole time we had been together. I asked her why she had done it, and she said that she needed the money. I was heartbroken, but I tried to understand her reasoning.
I told her that she had to get tested immediately, and she agreed. We decided to try to move past this, but I couldn’t help but feel like something was still wrong between us. I knew that it wasn’t going to be easy to get over what she had done.
As time passed, I slowly started to forgive her. I could see that she was truly sorry for what she had done, and that she was trying her best to make things right. We worked together to rebuild our relationship, and eventually, I was able to let go of the anger and hurt that I had been feeling.
