My girlfriend has a cold sore, right there on the end of her mouth.
She keeps getting pissed at me because I don't want her to kiss even my cheek or forehead, because it's a freaking cold sore.
She's says it needs saliva, and can only be caught on the eye, mouth or genitals. While I know that, I doubt that it only touching my cheek doesn't mean I can't accidently transfer it around by contact with my hands or any other such thing.
Am I in the right to actually not want her to plant her lips on my cheek until the damned thing vanishes?
thelaura answered Saturday April 25 2009, 5:26 pm: You're right. Putting myself in your position, as mean as it sounds, I wouldn't exactly want my other half transferring the virus, even by pecking my cheek - the virus CAN cause complications and CAN spread to other parts of the body. Kissing you can also cause complications for her, if bacteria gets in to it.
Tell her to do you both a favour and stop the kissing for the time being until it's gone. It's not offensive, she just needs to realize that a cold sore isn't as harmless as she thinks. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
