I definitely would not consider moving countries or accepting someone into my life without a check, especially now that I have had some online experiences and most definitely because I have a child.
My Daddy did this with my ex, he also demanded a blood test lol poor guy had to jump through hoops. But it’s worth that peace of mind, especially if the person lives far away.
edit reason: spelling argh.
HAHA go on CP’s Daddy :D
just wondering though – did you also supply a blood test????

Sure did Lucy. Although S.T.D/I’s at that time was not of any concern on my part, it was more the ethical thing to do.
It’s highly recommended that everyone take these types of tests before entering a sexual relationship.Most people just use condoms.
Yes Jen, they usually do which I suppose is okay for short term partners. But long term partners … well…

Lol Jen how the world has changed… I agree with you Cherri its just I was thinking about my old school teachers (I went to an all girls school) if they could have read your post they would turn in their graves :D
I can quite honestly say that if someone’s dad insisted that I had a blood test before we embarked on a relationship, I would happily wave them goodbye.

I can understand both sides of this dilemma or situation depending on how you look at it…not sure how I would react if I was in this situation..
To me a pre-nup agreement is one to think about if someone asks you to draw one up. It kind of says to me that the person isn’t 100% commited and is thinking about splitting up before they’ve even wed. I know it’s usually mega rich peeps who have earnt their own money usually without the new partner but love is love wether you’re rich or poor right? :lol:I think that the sex test thing is generational.
When I was young sex before marriage was a big deal so the sort of tests Cherri is talking about were not part of our psych… Things have changed so much though and I think Cherri is very wise to insist on tests after all some STDs are silent and people can have them without even knowing.
Have a feeling my kids would not appreciate me getting involved though but all parent child relationships are different. :?
I think those of us who were around in the early 80s when AIDS raised its ugly head would fully understand someone wanting to be sure. If the person I was embarking on the relationship with asked me and we both went for the blood tests together, then I’d have no problem with it…but if their parents insisted on it, that would be another matter altogether. I would wonder who I was embarking on a relationship with!
