How much do you share about your previous relationships with significant others?

[HagridOfTheDeep]

A recent stumbling block. I'm curious if people think I'm in the wrong. Discuss.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Nothing. No need to bring up the past. They're long gone.

I've had girls pry and ask me about my exes and what they were like, what we did together, but it is just awkward.

[Хahar 🤔]

lol at this question being asked on this site

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

I don't get it. Am I not supposed to talk about my former friends with my current friends?

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Well, apparently not. But that's how I see it too.

[afleitch]

We are both still friends with our exes so we've never seen it as a problem. People have to expect there's a bit of your life you shared with someone else.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Anything that you don't hold in their confidence is fair game.  But be prepared.  Not every detail will go over well. 

[free my dawg]

Since I am a normal member of Atlas, I have not been in a relationship.

[windjammer]

Since I am a normal member of Atlas, I have not been in a relationship.

That's your fault if you weren't interested by your true leftist bisexual friend .

[HagridOfTheDeep]

See, I'm okay that there have been other guys. I just see my relationship with him as a very important part of my life... Obviously he felt the same way about his past relationships too. And if they were such a big part of his life, I feel like it would be nice to know about it. I want to be able to share everything. I dunno.

I think it's very strange to not be willing to share everything about your past with your significant other.

Whatever happened with you and your friend, by the way?

[Badger]

Everything. i up front set out exactly what the prior ex-types did right and wrong so they can learn from those that came before. Keeps them on their toes.

My wife seems to have learned well, but i'm beginning to suspect she stopped listening some time ago.....

[Torie]

Everything, and visa versa. Perhaps its a gay thing. I don't know.

[traininthedistance]

Plenty (normal).

Though my SO knew literally all of my exes before she knew me (and vice versa!), so it's not like we'd be able to answer otherwise even if we wanted to.  I assume that's quite a bit less normal.

[IceSpear]

I don't really care either way. If it's something they want to talk about, I have no problem with it. If they seem uncomfortable with it, then I won't. Me and my current boyfriend have told each other about tons of crazy guys from our past, it's made for some amusing conversations.

[Mr. Smith]

As much as comes up on the matter, but in the kindest, simplest, and well paced out way possible.

[Antonio the Sixth]

N/A

[ilikeverin]

I was up front with my boyfriend about my lack of relationship experience.  He had more than me, but it doesn't sound like much at all romantically; I've tried not to pry.

[Gustaf]

In my experience most women ask about these things eventually. I try to be open without making them feel bad.

I do sometimes obscure it a bit if it seems unnecessary and could be upsetting. I've realized that people often get the idea that you're obsessed with an ex or hasn't moved on if you mention them too often so I try avoiding that.

[dead0man]

Not much, and only when the new lady brings it up.  And I don't ask.

[The Dowager Mod]

Everything, and I get the same in return.
If you think you can keep secrets and maintain a stable long term relationship you will be very disappointed.

[YaBoyNY]

I don't usually bring it up, but if asked about it, I don't keep anything secret.
