For couples, the first kiss is always one of the memorable milestones, a testament to the sincere love between the two parties. However, this is not always a memorable experience, as exemplified by the case below, where according to the male protagonist in the story, it is an extremely forgettable memory that he does not want to recall.
Our story revolves around Martin Ashley Conway, a personal trainer from London – who believes he was deeply hurt after a romantic affair last year. It is known that he met a girl named Jovanna on a dating app, and over time, their feelings grew stronger, leading them to decide to meet for the first time and share their first kiss. It was thought that everything would blossom from there, but no one expected it to be the beginning of a forgettable relationship.
According to Martin, after a few days of dating, the passionate love was not yet visible, but he began to experience some strange health symptoms such as flu and mouth ulcers. It wasn’t until he went to the hospital that he discovered he had contracted the herpes simplex virus (HSV). The situation was so serious that even after taking medication, he was still tormented by the illness to the point of wanting to collapse, leading him into depression shortly thereafter. Martin said he was even afraid to exercise vigorously because he feared that sweating could trigger a resurgence of the illness.
Then, according to Martin, he believes that his online girlfriend is the main cause of all the aforementioned troubles and is the one who transmitted the virus to him. Martin accused his girlfriend of not informing him of her health status before kissing him, and he filed a lawsuit against her demanding compensation of up to £136,000 (approximately over 3 billion VND). And that may very well be the bitter end for the budding romance between the two.
