Anonymous Announcement
I’ve been working at restaurants and bars since I was 18. It was easy to meet a lot of people, so hooking up was common. In college, I started dating a girl I really liked. I saw a potential future with her, and she knew I wasn’t hooking up with anyone anymore.
One month, life got busy, and we stopped being intimate. I was stressed and angry about it. Once we were finally able to meet, I got a message on my phone alerting me of some shocking news— a recent partner of mine had apparently tested positive for STDs and I was being advised to get tested.
By then, we had been together for almost a year. When she read the message, she freaked out, screamed at me, and broke up with me on the spot. I didn’t even get a chance to explain. Three months later, I was catching up with my high school sweetheart and telling her about it.
She laughed and apologized. She’d entered my name on a site that sent anonymous messages to ex-partners of potential STDs. By then, my ex had already moved on, so it was too late for me. Story credit: Reddit / (respectable_cook2)
