Do u talk about ur past with ur current relation?

February 28, 2007 2:37pm CST
do u mention, discuss or describe wut ur x used 2 do 2 u and wut u did 2gether? how does ur current love life take it? i think it's a very widely made mistake 2 do so. as later on it will get thrown in YOUR face, or probably worse.

YES...but then guys find it very insulting though i'm just trying to let them/him know about it so he can avoid the things that made me sad before and the things that can make me happy...they find it "comparing" attitude to who i was before...oh well,someone said to me "don't try to compare me with him...if he does it,i am not."so i just shut up my mouth and try to reminisced the past with my own thoughts.

U c wut i mean? i am a guy and i know how we are. it's our basic nature 2 misunderstand and reinterpret ur intentions the wrong way. once it's out it's out. god help u after that. it's just "us". we cant avoid it not get annoyed. it will bother us sooner or later. Best is 2 never mention it. or just mention the bad stuff and keep the good stuff folded away in the back of ur mind, after all the good memories dont help or u would still be in THAT relationship, wont u?

I have discussed my past relations with my current partner, because he has been the one to ask me about my past. My partner has a very open attitude, which is healthy for a relationship. If you feel that there is a future, or you can see a relationship going somewhere, it is only natural that you would want to know about your partners' past relationships and learn from the mistakes that others made. I've asked my partner about his past, and it gives me an insight to his personality. I am not a jealous type of person. Ofcourse if I saw him making out with another girl, it would get me annoyed and angry. However, what I want to know of him and what he wants to know of me, is in our past and not related to our present. Just yesterday my partner asked me if I had ever pursued any of my 'exs' or if I'd always been chased. I went on to describe him of any incidents where I made the first move. We had a good laugh about it at the end of the chat, and he in turn found out a few things about me which he didn't know before. Sometimes, your past will be thrown in your face, but that's something you have to deal with. You can't erase your past, and what's the point of being with someone if they can't accept you for who you really are ?

yes I do discuss those things. if you can not trust your girlfriend/boyfriend with those facts then you have nothing. You can not get anywhere in a relationship if you can not talk to or trust the other person.
