Yesterday, I was working at one of my jobs and usually it is only my boss and I
in a room working. We were each working on our own projects and he started
talking about Herpes. He started naming off all the people we knew that has it
then started talking all high and mighty because he's been tested and only has
HSV-1. He started trash talking all the people with HSV-2 then asked me if I've
been tested and if I have 1 or 2. He and I are friends as well as coworkers and
I know he was asking me as a friend, but here I was put on the spot sitting
there at work and my boss is not my lover in any shape or form.

I told him his question was inappropriate for work and I kept on going about my
duties. He got off the subject, but as I sat there, his words that he had said,
stung me and tears started rolling down my face. I am a woman, and if someone
says something that hurts, I cry. I can't help that. I stood up, he saw that I
was crying even though I tried to hide it and told him I needed to take the rest
of the afternoon off. He didn't understand. I told him some subjects are not his
business and he should keep his own opinions about other people's health to
himself and I left... he told me he would clock me out at 5. He then called
after I left and asked me what he could do to make it better. I told him that
what he said was hurtful and mean and none of that was his business. I pretty
much admitted to having it and he apologized.

I drove off to New Smyrna and tried to relax. I came home last night still hurt.
I texted him and told him I would not be at work today. I work a different job
tomorrow, but I'm working for him again on thursday and I'm not quite sure what
to say or do from here.
