While hunting for camping equipment, last night, my wife asked me if I was gonna be one of those "Doomsday Preppers". I laughed and then thought about it. The only thing that separates me from that scene is a underground bunker in Joshua Tree.

I had four boxes of MREs (leftovers from one of the hurricanes), that didn't make it in the move. I am also on the Wise Emergency Food mailing list (which you have to do a survey about your prepping needs). I think that I am on some doomsday preppers list somewhere just because of those two things.
I've been trolling on a flat earth page. I pretend to be a flat earther and argue with those who believe in a spherical earth. That led to me getting a friend request from someone I can only assume is surfbumdj. This is their profile pic:

I just turned in my final assignment in my capstone course. I'm an ETS proficiency profile exam away from my degree (taking on April 2), conferral in May. For some reason, I'm feeling more empty than elated. Tell me I'm gonna get happy about all this, and this impending sense of dread is only temporary...
Just heard the 6-time Irish fiddle champion play "o'carolan's farewell to music" live. A F-ing amazing. Met him after the show - such a nice and humble man. My late husband was a descendant of the Irish composer O'Carolan (who composed the tune), so that makes it doubly cool.

That doesn't look like surfbum.
And I have been to the Georgia Guidestones. That is some fascinating weirdness.

New milestone in my life: first std.
Im upset with the girl I got it from and Im not sure if I should be. Im having an internal battle about whether or not the blame should always be 50/50 since its a mutual decision. But she gave it to me. She consoled me by saying she hadnt been with anyone since the last time I had been with her. Then, she was the one who really instigated not using a condom. After learning of the std, she admitted to having unprotected sex during the weeks leading up to me.
Does the blame slide on a scale in every situation? I feel like this should be considered 25%/75% or maybe I get a little more. Or maybe its always 5050.
Im usually good about protection, but this really taught me that you can not trust anyone on this issue unless its a girlfriend that youve seen test results from.

Always wrap it up brother, unless you are in a committed relationship with clear lines of communication about birth control. Blame means very little when it comes to a health issue like this one - sucks she lied to you; but like you said, should have protected yourself anyway. So sliding the scale in either direction is inconsequential, just gotta get your shit checked and worked out and move on. and def. move the fuck on from someone who is going to lie about their sexual activity with others

I've had crabs and Chlamydia, it sucks balls and I only blame myself. Unfortunately we are only to blame for not wrapping up, albeit, can't prevent crabs with a condom as that shit climbs through pubes, but I digress. Getting these STDs has made me stop having so much random encounter sex and really made me want to establish more of a connection with someone before being intimate. Now as lil Wayne says, I'm always strapped, and if I'm not then it's just not happening, which is hard but possible. And I know it's a cliche, but it is for a reason, if a girl will fuck you upon first meeting you without a condom, she will for any other guy, them bitches are big red flags.

All of this. I can definitely see being frustrated since you made the decision based off something she said that ended up being less, but you ultimately consented to out. Like Deto said, it doesn't matter in the long run since you have the same consequence regardless. Hopefully, it's one that can be treated, and you can use this as a lesson going forth both about unprotected sex in general and your relationship with her.
P.S. I totally agree that you shouldn't have another go round with her. There are some lies to look past. One of that nature is not one of them.

FWIW it was Chlamydia.
I understand that sliding the blame in either direction doesn't matter. I'm just trying to think on the most basic level if there is any moral/ethical validation for me being upset with her.
I'm not a very emotional person, and this is a friend. So by upset I mean that I said to her at a party last night something like, "You know that I don't care in the slightest when you fuck other people, but you can't just lie about... blah blah." And she accepted it and that was that. I was never intending to make it a big deal since Im in the wrong as well. But did I even deserve the upper hand in that conversation? Did she need to even feel sorry or apologize?
As far as the girl goes. We both got treated. As long as I'm using a rubber in the future why not go at it every now and then? She lied out of fear of embarrassment and maybe she thought I would be upset that she had been with someone else. I don't think she had malicious intent. I'm not sure that I need to stop being her friend or stop doing naked stuff with her from time to time.

Yeah. I think you definitely had valid reason to be upset with her. I just know from personal experience that I transition that sometimes into feeling that I am 100% right in the moment and totally forget my own part in it.
It's good that she apologized. It might just be me, but I feel that goes a long way.
I didn't mean that you needed to cut off the relationship altogether with her. I don't see any reasons to not remain friends. I would be super skittish about doing the naked times again, but that might be just me being over conservative. I'm old. It happens. If you do again, I would definitely be 100% solid on wrapping it up.

The thing about Chlamydia is that women only carry it they don't really know if they have it, so you can be mad at her for lying to you, but people also shouldn't have to tell you whether or not they just had sex with people if they don't want to as that's kind of personal.

yeah youre totally right about that. Its just that she went out of her way to console me with that info minutes before insisting on not using a condom.
I didnt ask for a background check, and who knows, i may have still made a dumb decision had she said nothing. But her going out of the way to say that is what makes me upset. Again I want to stress that im not overcome with anger or anything. Just a little upset with her.
