Conflict Resolution – Setting Ground Rules

Smith: Hi my dear

Jane: Hi too dear, how have you been. You promised to give me a call yesterday. What happened?

Smith: Am really sorry sweetheart, I have had some bad time at work. But am now free

Jane: No problem, so tell me what’s up. Don’t you miss me?

Smith: (Chuckles…) I surely do and you know that.

Jane: I missed you too dear, sorry for the hectic job schedule

Smith: Now that both of us are free, can we talk about something I personally feel important?

Jane: Sure dear. What is that?

Smith: Well, I am not sure how you are going to take this. It is obvious that other than loving each other, we two take good care of our bodies. We have been lovers for only three months now and I personally feel it will be better if we get more truthful to each other (Pariera & Brody, 2018). How about we get ourselves tested for any sexual transmitted disease. I know it sounds scary and illogical to ask such but I feel it is the best step to take just in case we engage in sex. As you know dear, I love you and this concern may not necessarily imply that I don’t trust you but it is only good if we keep ourselves sure of our past before moving on? How is that dear?

Jane: Wow! Not sure how to respond to this. To be honest, I have never had a test beforehand am not sure how it feels. Before we met, I had also not had sex for close to two years.

Smith: Your concerns are really justified dear and if in your position, I would have raised similar concerns. I however wish to tell you that time is no factor in understanding aspects of STD’s and since you have never tested should be enough reason to go ahead and test. For the concerns about pain, it is not so much pronounced (Breuner, Mattson & Committee on Psychosocial Aspects of Child and Family Health 2016). We donated blood last time together right?

Jane: Yes, I remember dear

Smith: Was it painful? Am sure it wasn’t. The test is not as painful as what you witnessed while donating blood. This is just a simple blood test especially owing to the fact that you haven’t had sex in the recent past. As for me, to be honest I have had multiple sex partners before I met you as I already told you. For that matter, it is my test that may take a little bit longer (Morawska, Walsh, Grabski, & Fletcher, 2015).

Jane: I understand dear. You are such a caring man. So is today possible for the tests? I am ready.

Smith: Well, today would have been a perfect day but I think getting an appointment prior to the tests would be better. What do you think dear?

Jane: Sure, that is how most facilities work.

Smith: Thanks for your response dear, I almost thought…..

Jane: (Interjects Smith), what of kissing? We have kissed before. Can kissing cause STD’s? What are some of the STD’s?

Smith: No kissing doesn’t cause STD’s. Some of the common STD’s include HIV (AIDS) which is the most feared and known. One can also have Syphilis, genital warts, recurring sores, gonorrhea as well as Trichomoniasis.

Jane: Please explain more on Gonorrhea and Syphilis

Smith: Ok, gonorrhea affects both males and females. It mainly affects the urethra or rectum in men and cervix in females. It is also possible for mothers to infect their children at birth. It mainly happens when one has multiple sex partners without protection. Syphilis, on the other hand, is a bacterial infection that comes as sores as a result of sexual contact (Workowski & Bolan, 2015).

Jane: Am now scared and anxious at the same time. Please make the appointment sooner and thank you for this session. I am better now. But let me ask dear, would you have stopped a sexual act between me and you if it happened before this talk?

Smith: To be honest yes dear

Jane: I have never thought of such a discussion and am glad of your thoughts

Smith: I want to be as open as possible to you dear and please be open as well. In case you have any question, it is good that we share. This helps improve our sex life.

Jane: True dear, I even love you more from today. I now know the different examples of STDs and how they come about and how they can be tested. I have also learned that it is not painful to undertake a test.

Smith: Good, glad you liked it. Now come closer and give your future husband a kiss

Jane: You never stop to amaze me…this is a restaurant though. Am shy you know.

Smith: I am glad you are such a responsible lady. I love you for who you are.

Jane: Hey dear, please make the appointment lest we forget. Isn’t the appointment done online?

Smith: I already made an appointment dear. I was only hoping and praying that you agree on the deal. The appointment is Friday next week.

Jane: Wow! You are a clever one. Let’s meet next week. Love you

Smith: Love you too dear
