I literally get coldsores if my lips get too dry.. it just sounds like he needs to get educated on them
Honestly how embarrassing that he’s acting like he doesn’t know the herpes virus stays in your body forever. Everyone knows that. It didn’t just vacate your body when you got with him. They can be triggered as easily as being more stressed than usual. That would be so hurtful if those were directed toward me. Honestly, I would google information about it and send him the link.
My husband is the one with the cold sores. And he gets him when his lips to dry or when it's a change in seasons. You get them or he got them cuz when he was younger his mom kissed him on the lips.
@Cassie no not everyone knows that, I didn’t find out till 2 years ago, my partner didn’t know till I told him after that, some of my friends and family learned just this year. Fun fact; my doctor has said that 95% of people actually don’t know that cold sores is the herpes virus and that it’s forever. Maybe you should educate yourself more
Find an old picture or two with you having one and show him. Explain the timeline again and tell him if he's trying to make a joke, you don't find it funny.
My husband has made this slick type comments before too. And they annoy the crap out of me, and actually hurt. I told him flat out that they bother me, and that if he trusts me then it shouldn’t even be a comment. Also, inform your fiancé that you only have to be exposed to the virus once(this actually usually happens in childhood, one of the many reasons I don’t let people kiss my babies) and there’s many triggers to cause a flair up 💕
