Point 1: In the made-up encounter in the OP, she states it took her like two seconds to google gluten-free vodka, which she was apparently unwilling to do until right up when the guy started asking her about her disease. Why did she not just google that poo poo upon entering the store?

Point 2: In the 1939 movie "The Women", during a brunch with the gals, one of the women turns away a basket of bread rolls because she's on a diet and the main character says, "Go ahead dear, it's not starch, it's gluten!"

Back in the day, gluten was seen as a weight-loss alternative to "starch". Good to know the world just picks the same poo poo to hype as healthy/bad/healthy/bad/healthy/bad in the eyes of the public over and over and everybody falls for it because nobody remembers past 30 years ago.

If you want entertainment, you tell some dockers and polo guy that Macallan 12 isnt the best single malt in the world.

"I had just gotten out of the car and closed the passenger door behind me when my phone rang. I motioned to my boyfriend to go on ahead and that I'd be right there. He decided to stand about 15 feet away from me. I turned my back to him and took in the barren view of the Ikea parking lot on a dreary spring day."

quote:

"Your tests came back positive for genital herpes," my doctor said to me.

At 20, I thought STDs were something "other" people got. Who I thought those other people were beats me.

I hung up the phone and slowly walked over to my boyfriend to tell him what had happened. He stood there for the duration of the call, calmly waiting. I was too in shock to realize his nonchalant response of, "No big deal, I'll go to the doctor when we get back" was a potential red flag. He showed no emotional change whatsoever from before I told him to after. But we were in a monogamous relationship, so I assumed there was no chance this had come from him.

As a side note, if you're ever trying to save money on your Ikea shopping trip, having your doctor tell you you have herpes in the parking lot definitely helps. You care far less about interior decorating once you get inside.

We got back from our trip and weeks went by with no second mention of my herpes bombshell. Finally, I brought it up over drinks one afternoon. He casually said his doctor told him he also has herpes but that he still loved me even though I had given it to him. I couldn't figure out what was happening. Why didn't he immediately bring this up to me when he found out? I felt the guilt of passing this on to him coupled with the already confusing emotions of being in this situation in the first place.

He never did admit to me the truth, though he called me years later to apologize. When I asked him what for, he hung up.

Holy poo poo this dude rules.

I've been trying to do too many things this week — more meetings than usual, making myself finally write a speech I'm giving next week, making Charlotte dinner/Nutella sandwiches — and generally moving too quickly through things.

So it is like a nice little codependent-sponsored break when I get your questions and actually take a moment to focus solely on what's going on with you and not be so scattered with my own crap.

For the following question, however, I don't have the long-term monogamy credentials to give this reader all the advice she deserves. If you do, I'd love for you to help her out in the comments. Thanks in advance.

If you're feeling very Zen and have no answers, but only questions, text them to me at 917-239-2891. My phone is fully charged, which is rare, so let's all take advantage!
