Boyfriend told me to "get over it" when sharing feelings about doctors visit (sensitive, HPV)

There's no way to be careful to avoid HPV. And you need a better bf.


And btw, how many partners has he had? I wonder if his attitude could be related to the fact that it crossed his mind that he could be to blame?

These HPV threads give me the jeepers. Makes me not want to ever have sex again.

Yea right, like that's ever going to happen.

Warts, of any type are...unpleasant. Let alone venereal ones. The last wart I had was on the I side edge of my left thumb. I removed it with a sharp knife, a set of veterinary for steps and a red hot , 16D nail. The mere thought of such things in more...private...areas certainly would not do ones mental state any kindness. Treatment options are not quite so simplistic as what I described afore, here.

Ohhh, but we humans have issues.....

This last part was my first thought as well.

Mmm yes. His reaction does seem to be aimed at avoiding talking about it. Hiding behind a wall of , seeming, indifference, so to speak.

My guess is the BF may be guilty. He probably told her to "get over it" so he can cover his tracks.

These are the times that really test whether or not the people closest to you are truly caring.

I think your boyfriend failed.

Exactly. Drawing attention away from the issue, and thus from himself.

I'm generally upset about this whole thing and feel like I disappointed myself in not taking care of my body better. I was telling my boyfriend about this and he told me to "get over it." I feel like he's being insensitive. I'm offended but don't know what to do.

Dump his insensitive A.s.s!
