Woman sues ex-partner for contracting herpes

The boyfriend told this woman he had herpes but said she could not catch it from him, and she believed him. There are three things this woman needs: google, self-respect, and a clue.

"Last week, Pollock, 49, of Long Beach, filed a lawsuit against her ex in Nassau Supreme Court, charging that the disease he gave her will make it difficult ever to be intimate with a man again.
"He took away the most precious thing I had -- the ability to love and be loved," she said."

This woman has two children and claims she cannot love and be loved? How sad.
