You don't want me to talk to you, so I am hoping you will still be reading the Mercury regularly and catch my sincere apology. It was completely against the grain of my character to be as selfish as I was to deceive you regarding my sexual health. You were the fourth person I had slept with in my 28 years, and the first person I have slept with since I found out about my "condition" over a year ago. I was extremely naive about the importance of informing partners of this condition because I didn't find it to be a problem. It is very apparent to me now that even if it is not a problem to some people; that doesn't mean I can selfishly control if it will be a problem for others or not. I was too scared of rejection and wanted my few minutes of fun with you. SELFISH. I now realize the damage I have done with your potential health, the potential health of your future partners, no chance for us to have a relationship, and the forgiveness that I may never receive. I have more remorse about my dishonesty than I have ever dealt with before. I will pay for your doctor visit to be tested. If I never talk to you or see you again, please know that my intentions were never to harm you or anyone else, and if I had never made that foolish mistake, you and I would most likely be a great for each other. I feel so stupid and I will never do this to anyone else again. Thank you for your integrity.
