There are a lot of people who live quite fine with herpes. There is a discussion forum on healthboards dedicated to herpes. It is here:
http://www.healthboards.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=67
A person with either HSV-1 or HSV-2 just have to be careful about their sexual involvement during an outbreak or even if they feel a tingle that might signal an outbreak. I have oral HSV-1 and I have to be careful about kissing or giving my wife oral sex if I have a blister or even if I feel one coming on. Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 can be either oral or genital and can be transmitted through kissing, oral sex or intercourse. There is at least one drug to help with HSV-2 outbreaks. I forget what the name of the drug is, but you should investigate it if you have HSV-2. There is probably discussion on any treatments on healthboards. You can probably get help from the people there, as they are dealing with it.

They should always be honest about the condition with sexual partners. But this can be discussed in a mature way; educating the partner on the disease. Herpes shouldn't end your life you should continue to be happy, I guess most people that have it rarely get outbreaks and what have you so normal life and relationships are possible. Definitely tell your partner though if you had it; because if they catch it without knowing they will resent you most likely because it's more of a trust thing than anything else.
