    It doesn't really bother me when he asks about my ex bfs but sometimes it's just awkward.

    What do you guys think? I think if he is my current bf, he has the right to know what kind of people I dated before, right?

    I tend not to bring up my exs at all in my current relationships... they're a part of my past, and thus, they should not affect my current relationship. The only thing they know is that there exists exs (not even the #), and that I am no longer with them. Opening up the ex-files is almost like opening up a can of worms.

    Inevitably, people like to compare themselves to others. Once you know about an ex, you'll start comparing yourself to the ex and comparing your relationship with the relationship your significant other had with her/his ex. To me, that's just unhealthy and unecessary.

    wats the point in hiding anything? however the only problem is for ur girl to stalk ur ex..it gets annoying when ur girl keeps asking u about ur ex
     
  5. i try not to bring it up unless he askes abt me...

    what happened with my ex and i r memories between us... it doesn't really have anything to do with my current... but i got nothing to hide coz it's in the past anyway so i'll tell him if he asks me...

    I agree with Dawn. I think it's uncomfortable to talk about your ex with your bf unless he brought it up. Also there is no point of hiding anything but I hate people whose talk trash about their ex unless they did something horrible.

    i don´t like if my gf ask me about my ex´s
    what´s past that´s past.
    and the problem is obvious, when Your girlfriend has to compare herself with the ex´s. it´s a memory of another chapter that´s closed now and if You open it again it may hurt the person close to You, because she won´t understand
    why and what happened because she wasn´t a part of it.
    so what´s the use letting her know what my ex´s were like?
    i love my girlfriend for being herself and not for changing herself to resemble any of my ex´s aight? so if possible i try to avoid this topic, because i know how it turns out... like kdotc said before... it gets annoying if ur gf keeps asking again and again

    Talking about one's ex's is like lighting a fire; eventually it will get out of hand and burn one in the ass =P

    I try not to, unless they ask.

    I don't ask them either, like I really want to know who/number of people she's been with.

    I just accept she has a past and am happy she's with me, now -cool

    yeah why not?
    its a good way to get things cleared up.
    im pretty sure most other halves would like to know what happened in your previous relationships good or bad. especially the ladies!

    Don't ask, don't tell. Even if they ask, I insist on not talking about it. Who here wants to hear about what their significant other did with other men and women. That's just a turnoff for the relationship. And like Dawn said, past relationships are only the business between those two individuals. The only outcome from these conversations is jealousy.

    The only thing I would want to know about my significant other's past relationship is whether she contracted any STDs to protect myself.

    why would your current bf ask about your exes in the first place? its just too weird. if he does, i think he has some insecurity issues.

    unless you want to trash your beautiful relationship, never bring anything in the past cause it's all over, get over it people!

    there is always a reason to why they ask those kinda questions!! . its either they try to find out how do u rank them in ur mind.. or do wat ur ex didnt and be better ... .. overall . i hate those kinda questions
