If your girlfriend is saying she would leave you if you ever got an STD, from something other than sex, it means she doesn't think your relationship is forever. If she thought she'd be spending the rest of her life with you, it wouldn't matter.

This reminds me of the "wheel chair" question. Sadly, many people bail on injured or sick partners.

I'd stay with them. She's a whore, OP, you should break up with her. She just wants an excuse to fuck someone else.

I don't think she's concerned as much about any health issues as she is about where you actually got that STD from. Unless you're getting a blood transfusion from a hobo in a van, I think you're pretty safe from that. To me (and probably to her too) it sounds a bit like you're creating a very specific hypothetical situation with very low chances of happening just to see if your back-up excuse would work in case you actually got an STD from a valid source (aka a hooker).

Even if a girl is willing to stay with you no matter what you do, if you present her with a hypothetical situation in which you're making a fool of her, she's still going to stick to her pride and say, at that moment, that she's not going to have it. She's not going to create this image of her as a spineless rag that if you cheat on, she's just going to let it go cause she loves you so much.

The thought of facing death for someone you're not married to is a pretty hard pill to swallow, too. How selfish are you for even asking her to do such a thing?

By the way, your age and hers are both entirely relevant to this conversation.

First of all, it would be highly unlikely that you got an STD in that way, so even if you did, shes assume you got it from some diseased hootch working the corner, and that thought's going to be in her head.

Also, it completely her right to feel that way, she was honest with you, you rather she lied to make you feel better? I really don't think you should be questioning your relationship from that answer. That's a hard thing. Besides that in the end, you're getting worked up about a theoretical scenario that most likely isn't going to happen to you.

Remember that you're external doubts like this, or really more reflections of your own inner doubt. You're questioning whether she loves you based on a hypothetical question, and an extreme one at that. I think you're way of looking at her answer is very black and white, and honestly quite selfish. You're saying that you always put her first, which first of all sounds like your putting her on a pedestal, which you shouldn't; yet, in you're hypothetical situation, you aren't doing that, you're selfishly expecting her to stay with you and risk also getting the same disease. If you were really honest about putting her first you'd understand and not want to risk giving it to her.

1) you actually don't know what you would do in that situation until you are in it.

2) She has the right to protect herself. Really everyone should. And just because you would stay with her if it happened to her, does not mean she should stay with you.

Finally, I have been married for 20 years, and would not leave my husband. If we had been together one year, I would. These things are situational.

That early in a relationship it's understandable. It's pretty freakin' rare to get an STD in a blood transfusion and even rarer that it would be something life threatening.

And stop shooting heroin or otherwise poking yourself with strange needles.

I prefer condoms anyways, but to depending on your country, the slimmer it gets these days with blood transfusion with having bad blood which is infected. there is sti, where you can get infected socially, HIV, Hepatitis and anything can be transmitted without even having sexual intercourse. but if that's how your gf thinks then that's her choice and if she does leave you over this, then that reflects on her and truly does show her true soul/nature.

How long have you been dating her? If it's not too long (2 years or less IMO), then that may be more or less expected depending on how far in your relationship you are. But people also like to avoid getting permanent, life-changing illness as well, so you're fighting a war with human nature there as well.

If you got it "from a needle", it sounds like you'd be a druggie. I'd leave your diseased self too.
I'd stay if it was from a blood transfusion, but seriously... That happens so rarely.

Usually a sudden std in a previously std-free relationship signifies cheating.

Thanks to OSHA, your chances of getting an STD from a needle or a blood transfusion, unless you are a recreational intravenous drug user, are slim to none. So your relationship is probably safe. Unless you use heroin or sleep around.

Also -beware of hypothetical questions in general when talking to women. It never ends well.

Every homie for themselves! Remember, what people say they will do might not be exactly it when it happens.

First, it was silly that you brought that kind of subject in a conversation.

Second, she was silly --for being too honest- that she would leave you if something ever happened -- she shouldn't be saying that even she would leave you.
But seriously why would she stay w/ you and spend her lifetime with a guy with a STD, risking her health and life when she's not even married with you & not responsible for that? Seems like you're selfish.

It is understandable that you think that way, however, her thought is also understandable to me.
