Whenever we talk he talks about past women he's had sex with, ex girlfriends, women who flirt with him. Always something about other women. I have male friends who do the same thing but I am not in a relationship with them. Is this normal male behaviour? I would think this is stuff you would tell a male friend.
Also, I don't know if it applies, but he could be trying to explain to you his relationship past so you can understand him better. - More than a year ago
I don't know if it's normal male behaviour but I told my wife about everything ( not the details) She had boyfriends but did never tell much about them or is evasive when I ask it. I don't worry about her past: I prefer her present and future. My past sometimes comes up in my mind.
Not all guys do this. Sounds like he's giving you his relationship resume to, I don't know, get you thinking that he can have others but he's choosing to be with you.
I don't tell girls my past history and I certainly don't want to hear theirs. It might be better than mine :)
I actually don't think its a good thing. I went through this with my ex, even to the point of him pointing things out that his ex's would do in bed, just after having sex :O...I don't want to hear it all the time, I want him to be focused me not his ex's , ex-fwb what ever they were. Sometimes is fine, and it can be trust as well, but if it makes you uncomfortable, then its not ok.
I'd say it's a trust thing. A good amount of guys feel afraid to say anything but the fact that he's open with you about it must mean he's over it if he can bring it up to his girlfriend. I really wouldn't worry about it. Maybe try bringing up your own ex boyfriends, see how he reacts and if he reacts negatively bring up what he does as well. If you're both open and showing trust in the other it will really work well for your relationship.
This is a very good answer. I bring up my ex to him when he does this and he reacts positively. I think this is just his way of trusting that I won't act stupid with the info he's telling me. The first time he told me something my reaction was negative (I got jealous) then he said he wouldn't tell me anything else because I take it wrong. Now when he tells me I just listen and he just tells me more and more. It's actually letting me in to know how he thinks. - More than a year ago

See then it's definitely a good thing =) just use it to talk back and forth about past relationships, mistakes, etc. It'll definitely strengthen your trust in each other and hey you'll learn from past mistakes =D. Good luck! - More than a year ago

It sounds like he is opening up to you and being ohnest. It is good if he is unsing it in a positve way but not so good if he he is being negative. If you don't enjoy it, try to talk to him about it and how you feel.
I don't think it's a good thing, unless you two are having a conversation about that particular subject and it needs to be said. I feel it's normal to talk about past relationships if the conversation calls for it. My boyfriend and I have talked about past relationships with each other, such as why things didn't work, so we get a sense of what each other likes. But we don't do it to brag to the other person or whatever.
Well to me, it seems like he's either feelin himself a little to much to think he can talk to you about girls he'd had sex with...shoot just to talk about abother girl he'd had relations with is just rude if you ain't ask. Sexually, I think he's either tryna hint to you that he wants you to do things theve probably done. You have to let him know ur his girl not his friend. If you keep letting him do that, he's gonna think he can keep doin it and your okay with it. Don't b rude about it, just set him straight on who you are. Good luck
I don't mind it as long as the person doesn't use it in a negative way, like comparing. It's a good way to get information if he's telling all. I always here it is bad ettiquette to talk of past relationships, but I don't think that means that we should tell them it's bad ettiquette.
Also, I'd like to say if you criticize him for it, he probably won't feel comfortable sharing other information that you may need to know. - More than a year ago

I thought of something else. He could be insecure and trying to tell you that other women want and have wanted him. Something I read in a book about men by a man said that if they are talking about an ex we should say, "Well, she must have been an idiot to let you go." It lifts you up in their eyes rather than the other woman. And then for the other girls, "Well, I'm glad you're all mine." - More than a year ago
He might feel like he can tell you about that kind of stuff, he must trust you enough. Unless it means that he is trying to get you jealous so tht you like him more. It depends what he is saying about them, is he saying mistakes, or is he saying good things about them. If he claims them as mistakes, then its a good thing. But if he is trying to make you jealous by saying good stuff, then its obviously a bad thing.
