Oh, man. I know you said that you've been having some issues and herpes is one of them. I'm not sure what the other issues are, but is sounds like you're ready to put everything into working things out, but maybe he's not ready to do that. Men can sure be mysterious sometimes. It's tough that you two started dating when he was going through the stresses of moving up in his job, and you also had to deal with this!
I can sympathize with your man's situation, but I also have to say that there are some guys who are always struggling against everything no matter what. When it comes to those guys, no matter how much you put into helping them, the problems never seem to unravel! My last boyfriend was like that, and in the end it just wasn't good for me to be with him. I really cared for him but I couldn't live like that. So I don't know if your man is that type, or if he's just going through a long-term slump. Either way, it seems like he might need some time to pull himself together and figure out what he wants? For example, figure out that he wants to find a more effective way to manage his herpes symptoms and actually take the initiative to talk things out with his doctor to try to improve that situation. That's something you can't do for him, unfortunately!
My response is just based on what I read and my experience, so maybe things are totally different, but it sounds like a tough situation for you. My thoughts and prayers will be with you- I hope things work out in a way that will be good for both of you!
