  • I can't. I know jealousy isn't attractive, but I hate to think of the girl I'm with to be screwing someone else.

  • My girlfriend’s ex was a perv. She’s Muslim and so am I and he continued being a perv to her so no I’m not jealous of him

  • Yeah, within the 1st few years of our meeting each other we would talk about some of our past experiences, and get sorta turned-on by it

  • Myself I wouldn't because it's all in the past and I want my past behind me

  • Yes, but its been my experience that such conversations are kind of pointless. They don't really add anything.

    I find that keeping my passed more "mysterious" and vague also makes her more sexually attracted to me for some odd reason. So there's also that

  • Depends what she wants to know and what her motive is.

  • As long as those relationships truly ended and are for sure part of the past, I would have no issues with the discussion. Really, it would be kind of interesting to hear about.

  • Yes but I would be careful with and thing the compares old partners what good could come out of it anyway

  • I'd rather be ashamed because it'd be about another girl.

  • I'm single but I think I can handle that. I wanna be that mature to not get mad or jealous.

  • i actually care about what the past of a person is like. The decisions they made even how immature the person was at that time were most definitely made consciously knowing what their impact would be in their life.
    So if a girl slept with a lot of people and expect me to not care about that because they were immature that time, that's not going to happen. That person definitely doesn't value intimacy and has different views on it than me

  • I can but they end up being weird trying to do stuff they are not into

  • never had a relationship but there's nothing about my past experiences for "her" to be jealous over.

  • Best to understand each others past to understand each past and learn from it

  • Yeah

  • I don't think so. That's a topic I don't enter.
    She just knows the very basics... maybe the names of my ex-es.

  • I can unless it’s someone who I know and see constantly or if it’s someone she still talks to/ sees

    • Agreed. I have no problem listening to my boyfriend talking about sexual and romantic things that he did with his first two girlfriends. But the girl he dated before me was in my same social circle, and I don't think I'd be able to stomach hearing anything about their sex life.

  • My fiance is fine with me but when it comes to an x, I still grit my teeth. Like today.

  • Probably not, because I will get jealous if he was better than me
