What you did wrong was you firstly breached her confidentiality and secondly you treated her like an outcast.
Btw have you EVER in your entire life had a cold sore . Even if it was 40 years ago ? Because if so you carry one of the herpes viruses in your body just like 80 percent of the population. It's probably type 1 which usually affects the oral area but it could be type 2 which usually affects the genital region . ( each can live in
Either region ) and YOU potentially could pass herpes to an unknowing woman during oral sex
So I guess if you ever had a cold sore you better be warning women about you herpes status huh and I wonder how you would feel
If they go talk to your relatives about it
What an absolutely disgusting way to behave . You didn't deserve her and I hope she finds someone who sees her as more than a skin condition

 You had your doubt when you first heard about it and then you went around and ASKED her DAUGHTER? Instead of talking to your OWN doctor about HOW to stay safe or simply NOT date her?!
I don't think her daughter convinced her not to date her, I DO think YOU convinced her to end it now. My guess? It's been as STRESSFUL for her as it has for you.
IF you have doubts or fear in the beginning about something like Herpes in a partner - MOVE on. Don't go around and ASK the people around her about it. Sheesh.
And it IS OK to not wanting to get an STD (at any age) which is why you should NOT have had SEX with her barely 3 weeks in when you are still fearful and having doubts. You should have
1. gone see your doctor and had an ADULT conversation to hear about what OPTIONS you have when having a partner with herpes.
2. decided if those options and the risk is WORTH it for you.
3. NOT go question the partner's CHILD (even if she is adult) about her MOTHER'S STD status!

I do wish you'd capitalise and punctuate properly. Your posts can be really hard to understand.
Are you saying that you discussed her herpes status with her DAUGHTER. I think that breach of confidence alone would be enough for some people to dump you. I know that the daughter is training to be a nurse but it's still not really appropriate for you to discuss her mothers sexual health with her.
And what "fears" did you discuss with this daughter - worrying about contracting herpes yourself is one thing but if you expressed doubts about her integrity or sexual past, I'm pretty sure that a decent daughter would certainly have reported this information back to her mother.
So if I'm right about you discussing matters with the daughter - I think this woman has made up her own mind to dump you. I don't think the daughter would have to do much "convincing" rather than just report the facts.
You do realise that you have a pattern to your behaviour. don't you? You start dating a woman and pretty soon you start questioning her integrity or motives. And then you proceed to SELF-SABOTAGE your relationship
