Before my diagnosis, I faced many rejections. However, the only person I opened up to about my diagnosis was my husband. Looking back, I realize that those rejections were not a reflection of my worth, but rather a sign that those individuals were not meant for me. Although it was disheartening at the time, I am now grateful for those rejections. Remember, you only need one partner who truly appreciates and accepts you. While dating, you may encounter obstacles, but try not to view rejections solely based on your herpes diagnosis. Instead, see them as opportunities for God to eliminate the wrong matches from your life. When I prepared to disclose my condition to my husband, I prayed that if he wasn't meant to be, God would guide him to reject me, and vice versa. If I had been rejected that day, I would have been okay, knowing it was God's way of guiding my path. Give it a try, shifting your perspective from rejection to divine intervention.
