Q: Past Getting In the Way

Hi
i've been seen this girl who is a bit older then me for 6 months now, i'm 21 shes 24. We're doing really good and are in love with each other she's great to me. She's the fist girl that i've really had a relationship with. The problem is her past (which I know shouldn't really matter) she has slept with alot of guys and done some bad drugs, but she has never cheated on anyone and has had only two one night stands. I'm trying to forget about her past because when I think about it I just gets me upset and then we get in a fight about it, it could destroy our relationship which I dont want. I feel the only thing that's really holding me back from been madly in love her is this.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can forget about her past and just concentrate on what we have now, it would help me out alot, thanks

and I know it's stupid of me to let this get in the way of what we have

if you want to know anymore details just ask

Advice to the ladies: never tell the "whole" story about your sexual past. Men say they love you and what's in the past is in the past. They say it doesn't bother them and they know you've had bfs. They say alot, but the problem is it "does" bother them, and the next time your in a "fight" they will throw it in your face................Sure it's nice to be totally honest with someone you "love"...........And they say they want to hear it, but the truth is they really "don't" want to hear it.............Somethings are better left unsaid.

Talk the talk: my advice, get over it, everyone has a past, we've all done alot of not-too-bright stuff. What matters now is the person she is today. :)

Hmmm...
The problem with certain relationships is that you find that if you have a sordid past it can effect your future relationships. Some people have been more 'active'; I don't know if that's the right word to use, as I don't want to offend, but at the end of the day, you'll always find a problem within the concept of your past relationships.

Now talk-the-talk; I felt the same with my last relationship. It was weird as you fall into the love trap, yet constantly beat yourslef up, by thinking about your partners past love life.

It's easy to say to you; "don't think about it", but unfortunately, that is what you have to do.

Talk to her about this, without causing an arguement or fight. Let her know how much you love her, so much so that you find yourself being almost....Jealous of her past.

I'm sure she will understand.

But I must admit, I do kind of agree with spirit's argument....Mind you, do you really want to live in silence?
