truth & consequences ...

I recently ended a brief relationship with someone I have known since my childhood. The recent part was fairly intimate & I, for some reason, believed that it was going to last forever. Anyway, I ended up having unprotected sex, for the first time in a very very long time, with this person. And now of course it is over ...

I am now left with the long-term possibility of having some serious consequences for my indiscretions. I am not worried about her getting pregnant; she said that was impossible & the scars lead me to believe that she wasn't lying about that at least. But, although she was previously a nurse she never had any desire to have a conversation about unprotected sex & the possibility if transmission of STDs or other serious illness. So now I am forced to begin once again the process of blood-work on a regular basis to determine if I have done something I regret for physical gratification ... I'm feeling naive ....
