Dear Matt & Tamsen,
My boyfriend hates it when I talk about my ex. But, we are still very good friends and I don’t see why it’s a big deal. I have not problem hearing him talk about his ex-girlfriends.
You do not live your life in the past, so why talk about it? The only things to take into the future from past relationships are fond memories and lessons learned.
However, it is human nature for any man to compare himself to your past lovers, but when you talk about them,
your current beau may become jealous or insecure. Guys need to believe they are the best you have ever had, in every department.
Your past should only play one role in your future and that is to assist you in not making any of the same mistakes.
If your current boyfriend asks about past relationships or lovers, let him know they all were learning experiences and they helped turn
you into the best partner he could ever have.
