New gf has herpes

Hey ya’ll. I’m 51, she’s 52.

I started seeing this girl in Jan. Things are going great. 5-6 dates in and we were headed towards sex. I invited her to my place for dinner and fun. Earlier that day she said she has something important to tell me. Turns out she has Herpes, says she’s had it for about 5 years and it hasn’t shown any symptoms or flared up at all. She takes a common med for it which suppresses it. She showed no signs of any outbreak. We are both divorced, she’s been divorced for 12 years, 5 years for me. We both have had many partners. Somehow I’ve avoided all diseases all these years. Unfortunately she hasn’t.

I like her, I see a bright future with her. Maybe.. but this issue is really bothering g me. I don’t want to get it. I don’t want to think about it each time we are intimate. I also don’t want to wear protection to have sex with my girl. That’s ridiculous. I have my vasectomy for that reason (and my baby making days are over).

I’m thinking about ending it with her. Help.
