First, he needs to process this information and basically you both don't have enough experience to know how you are going to react on an emotional level to information like this. You've been bombarded with sexual ideas for at least 10 years; then you start having sex and guess what it does't turn out to be like all the stuff in your head. This is particularly true when it comes to your partner and all the various insecurities (which are totally normal).
Your role here is just to take the high road. You did nothing wrong and there are cases to be made for going all full disclosure on him when you got back together and also for leaving it alone until it came up. There is no right answer. Give him space just as you'd like him to do if he told you something that surprised you about what he did when you were broken up. The Golden Rule definitely applies here.
Finally, just for your own piece of mind, younger guys are incredibly insecure (usually) about their own sexual prowess and experience. And, where they get the most freaked out is their experience relative to their partner. It isn't that they need to have more or less, but they want to be in control of that information. The only real way to avoid this drama is for you is to go out with guys who have more experience (and are over this crap), but that comes with its own challenges (like you being freaked out when you know what he's done).
This is a natural evolution of your sexual relationship. You probably required him to be pretty sensitive to the fact it was your first time; now it's your turn to be sensitive to the fact you may now have more sexual experience than he has. That doesn't mean you did anything wrong. Give it time and if your relationship is built on trust and respect you will get past it.
Hope that helps and that you guys can get past it.0 0 0 0It's a blow to his ego and a lot to process. You didn't do anything wrong. It was completely your right to hook up wtih whomever you wanted to whatever extent you wanted.
He's just feeling a little insecure now. It's a shock to his system but one he should get over. He should be able to understand that you didn't betray him or do anything particularly wrong. Perhaps the only fault is in the handling of it in the aftermath but that is really all questionable and you shold feel bad for it. Just give him time, tell him you understand that he may need a bit to process the feeling. Explain that you are willing to be patient and help him through whatever emotions he needs to process but at the same time he can't make you feel guilty or feel like you've done anything wrong.0 0 0 0

Tell him to grow up, you are a grown woman, and if you wish to have sex with someone you will. At the time you were not dating, so there is no reason for him to be upset, he doesn't own your body. Did he kiss, another girl or worse yet have sex with them. You had fun, which is your right.
0 2 0 1You clearly are a great at empathizing. The guy didn't say she didn't anything wrong he just is going through someone and it has nothing to do with his age. Insecurity doesn't end the day you turn 16,18,21, etc.
Absolutely everything you said was right (and I up-voted you), BUT... there's a way to say all of this while still being sensitive to his feelings.
Agree, being they were split up for a time, she needs to have the option of dating. She can't call him before she has sex with someone to get his approval. Best part is they are back together. Lets hope they stay that way.
If you were single at the time, you did nothing wrong. It's his problem not yours.

0 4Well Unfortunately it sounds like your dealing with a maturity issue mostly. There's not a lot you can do in a case like this except protect his ego and come up with something to make him feel "manly" again. I agree with Claire when she says he needs to grow up but that just comes with time. Your past is your past and no one is perfect. But seriously, just tell him something that will boost his ego and he'll get over it eventually.
0 0 0 0Give him space to think. You did nothing wrong. If he can't accept that, he's probably not mature enough to be in relationships with girls at this point.
0 1 0 0What you did was not wrong, and you were the bigger person to tell him. All depends on if you guys broke up because he thought you wanted to be with other guys. If that was the case, and then you were, that would be the only legit reason to have issue with it. Give him time, talk about it when he is comfortable, but shouldn't be a relationship ending thing. If he didn't hook up while you were apart, it is just him being jealous...
0 0 0 0Oh no, his penis isn't only one that's been in your mouth! Oh, the humanity! The horror!
Your boyfriend is being a selfish little twit. Did he think you were going to sit around and pine for him for six months, not even bothering to TRY to move on?
He should be happy you didn't run out and have a string of rebounds coming in and out of your p*ssy. I've seen far more than a few girls react that way after a breakup.1 1 0 0No, you shouldn't have told him before. A LOT of people out there don't WANT the details. He knew you were with these guys, and for a lot of people, that's enough. There'd be no reason for you to volunteer information when you don't know whether or not he wants to hear it in the first place.
