I was very lucky! My husband is negative. We had broke up at the time. I told him and it didn't change the awesome and deep love we have for each other. We got back to together. And we got married February 10th 2017. I love him so much. Its been very awesome the love we have each other. You will somebody neg or positive. You will have some not able to handle it. But when it is time. I promise you will find your life love.
