Hon, I would go to work with my head up high and tell him you are
sorry he feels the way he does because someday he may get it as 1 in 4
have it already, at least a couple years ago that was what it
was...probably more now. Tell him to come back and let you know how he
feels if he ever gets it, and then you may discuss it with him. I am
heavily tattooed and get snide remarks from people that have no
manners and are ignorant to alot of things in life. It is called
closed minded! So glad I am not one of them....Ann

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.

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.

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.
