He told me I was the only one and we didn’t use protection, but I found out there are several others. I want to get tested. Would he pay for the cost of the tests? I’m thinking of showing him the results afterward and asking him to cover the expenses, and if I’m diagnosed with an infection, seeking compensation.

I’m Dai, a male member. Once you find out they’re seeing multiple people, I feel like you can bring up getting tested and have them cover the cost. As a general rule, anyone who has unprotected sex—regardless of gender—is also having unprotected sex with other partners.

I’m Aya, a female member. If you want to end the relationship, then calmly seek compensation. But if you don’t want to cut ties, I think that, if I were in your position, I’d finally let my emotions show. You may not know whether your papa (a male supporter) is truly cold-hearted until you express your raw feelings. Being betrayed is genuinely painful. I don’t think it’s too late to seek compensation after you’ve determined whether your papa can at least understand how much you’re hurting.

I’m Basil, a male member. In this world, including unprotected sex, I think it’s best to assume that you’re probably not the only one. You’ll feel less stressed that way. Given how things are, I suppose it’s over. As for whether the test comes before or after, setting aside the cost of the test, I don’t think I’d pay compensation unless it was clear that I was the cause.

Let’s talk first. A man who lies so casually and only pursues his own pleasure will just lie his way out of it again.

I’m Maezawa from the president’s office, and I’ll answer this as well. I understand how you feel, but there are things that are possible and things that aren’t, no matter how much you hope for them. So I think you should carefully consider what might be possible and what would be best for you from here on. For example, as for whether he’ll cover the cost of the test, I feel that most people would probably pay for it. However, considering that this person lied to you, I also feel there’s a good chance he won’t. With that in mind, you may be better off thinking about how to phrase it so that he’ll agree to pay for the test. Since you know his personality, you’re probably in the best position to figure out how to approach the conversation. That said, you should get the money upfront. If you simply say, “I had the test, so please pay me,” I think most people would respond, “Huh?” Also, even if the result is positive, you should assume that you won’t be able to get compensation. Rather than thinking about how to claim damages, you may be better off considering how to get this man to give you the money. Come to think of it, I once heard about a woman who became pregnant and bought a large number of test kits, then resold them at a high price. The woman who sold them was something else, but I thought the people who bought them were pretty remarkable too. I suppose there’s also the idea of “an eye for an eye.” Still, I wouldn’t really recommend that approach. I hope you can have a sincere discussion and resolve things smoothly.

I’m Kazu, a male member. Rather than asking her to cover the cost after the test, I think it’s better to explain beforehand that you’d like her to take the test and share how you feel about it. If you bring up the expense afterward, you may be unfairly criticized for changing the terms after the fact.
