So you are in a "monogamous" relationship and decide to have unprotected sex. Let's say that your partner (boyfriend/girlfriend) gives you an STD. Would this situation terminate the relationship? Or do you believe in second chances?
In that situation there is no oppertunity for a second chance. Depending on the situation, you may end up living with a disease for the rest of your life. All the individual who gave you the disease had to do was tell the truth before engaging in sexual activity.
I am with Cederrick on this one, There are no second chances with people's lives. Yes if you believe in God then you must FORGIVE, but by all means you MUST NOT FORGET, that you trusted this person and they betrayed you.But this is where young people have it mixed up, LOVE doesn't mean unprotected sex, and a lot of young ladies are fooled with that "if you love me you would let me.." IT'S all HYPE, don't get drawn in. Again I say (SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS and I'LL SHOW YOU MINE)
It would depend on the situtaion. If it was unknowingly transferred and it was a bacterial std that could easily be cleared up with antibiotics than it would be no reason to end a good relationship. Now, if it was passed intentionally and it was a potentially life threatening std than that would surely be grounds for ending things.
No ma'am it's over, you give me a disease and I'm supposed to forgive you? NOT IN THIS LIFE! That is absolutely absurd and there are no second chances.
I can understand those who say some are unaware, which is why it's so important to get those papers, like Megan said, to be sure and besides, I don't want to have to use antibiotics to "clear things up."
OH NOOOOOOOOOOO! IT WOULD BE OVER!! I don't play those games. That is totally disrespectful and inconsiderate. First of all, my man would already be in the dog house for chating on me AND to add salt to my wound, he gives me something????? There are no second chances with that.
"I'd bust the windows out his car..." (ya'll know the song)
I don't believe in second chances PERIOD. And I definitely don't believe in second chances with this! I feel the same was as NG, "not in this life!" And hopefully it would be something that medicine could get rid of! If my partner is careless enough to do something like that, then they obviously do not care about me or my health, and I would not want to be with anyone like that.
Absolutely no opportunity for a second chance. On top of the fact that you are forced to live with a disease, the situation itself denotes a lack of honesty and possibly faithfulness in the relationship. There is nothing worse than believing that you can trust somebody and making yourself vulnerable only to have it backfire on you. This is neither a forgive nor forget type of matter.
It is absolutely unexceptable for someone I am in a relationship with to risk my life in order to be selfish and dishonest. Such unfaithfulness is grounds for a complete termination of the relationship. The should be able to trust my partner. Due to my partners unfaithful behavior I would be disappointed. I would really not appreciate my life and health being in danger because the man in my life no being able to control his body.
Good question to post, Isaac. If two people are in a monogamous relationship, and are sexually involved as part of that relationship, that means they went together to the clinic and got tested for all STDs, both tested clean, and they made a commitment to not be sexually involved with anyone else. Right?
If men and women in monogamous relationships would do exactly what I have described in the above paragraph, we could possibly end the STD epidemic that plagues the African-American community.
The reason we call them STDs is because the only way to contract the disease is through sexually transmission. Fortunately, most STDs can be cured. But you must get tested so you will know if you need to be treated.
Monogamy is something that many sexually active college students have a problem honoring. For this reason, it is probably a good idea (regardless of the promises of monogamy) for sexually active couples to practice safe sex by using a condom.
In my opinion this would terminate the relationship. This is unacceptable, if my significant other gave me an STD, this means they had no regard for my health or his and I would have to leave for the time being.
This definitely calls for a break up! If I know everytime we had sex, we used protection and he gave me something, that's proof that he is not faithful. D=I don't want to be with a liar!
It is very important to use condoms no matter how serious you think the relationship is, especially during college. Sadly, STD rates among African Americans between the ages of 15-24 have sky rocketed! Most individuals of this age bracket in a relationship are not FULLY committed, and are still exploring their sexual desires. Note to all women and men, do not think because your partner says "I LOVE U" that he or she will not have sex with someone else!

I would be upset if my partner contracted an STD and gave it to me. I would end the relationship because obviously he can't keep "Him" in his pants.
ReplyDeleteBut in order to prevent STD's you must wear a condom or practice abstinence.
