Does it bother you when your current partner tells you about ex partners, past sex life and flings etc? What can you put up with and what not?

I'm fuckin' cuckoo about it. I hate it. Very low tolerance.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's really annoying. I'm feeling pretty irritable right now. I mean, why would you wanna know unless you ask?

It makes me NUTS, but not everyone's the same. I've learned you just have to be very upfront and honest and say "here's what bothers me, and we'll be happier together if we just pretend I'm the only person you were ever with or ever liked."

my girl's ex is a good friend of mine.....in fact, he introduced us to eachother!

I actually find it turns me on. I like to hear details.

I really don't want to know about them. I know the one he was engaged to. I found some letters from another one in a drawer she wanted to lick him all over (she would have got hairballs ). That is all I need to know, MORE than enough

I asked.

I don't mind hearing the occasional G-rated story, but I don't want to know about their sex life, that's for damn sure.

If I ask then of course i'll brace myself and im ok with it.
But if he just brings them up...ewwwww

Ummm No thanks

I truly HATE it!

JDInteractive said:

i'm fine with it. in fact, i kinda want to know about that stuff. i find it insightful.

Oh wait, I read it wrong...

I thought you meant when an ex talks about a new interest.

As for a current partner talking about their past....I'm cool with it. Doesn't bother me really.

ooh! Unless it's funny. There's nothing funnier than when stupid things happen to naked people.

Oh lawd, I lost my damned mind 2 weeks ago over a bar conversation about it
I was like a wounded puppy.

And I never considered myself that jealous.

doesnt bother me at all. turns me on ...

There is something so wrong with you.....

CarrieMpls said:

That reminds me of when I was told how I was conceived.

CarrieMpls said:

Nah, I think I'll pass on that shit too

Yes, I can't read.

Other than that...I'm perfect.

It bothers me a little. It's never been brought up without my inquisition. I am not hopping mad about it. He DID have a life before me so I try not to get uptight about it.

I wouldn't want it to be a common topic of conversation know. I asked. I got an answer now let's not talk about it again--that's kind of my motto.

pardonme4livin said:

You would have seriously made uber fun of me that night.

Unless I ask, I do not want to know.

We basically have had this unspoken policy - we don't go there

It's just because naturally we both do not talk about it though

I live for those moments...torturing my friends...

Good policy....it will never work....but good policy....

Till you get your claws in the one you NEED to OWN, mind, body and soul...then you lose your natural fucking MIND!

Ahem.
