It’s irrelevant but I just NEED to know it’s weird 😞😂
It is actually relevant and not weird at all. Your need to know is there for a reason. Your subconscious wants to figure out if there are certain red flags that would cause chaos in your relationship. It is a very effective and important defense mechanism that will help you avoid those who give indications that their relationship with you will either not work or they will end up hurting you. So don't beat yourself up about it.
@TruthBringer thank you /-\
Maybe if they've had STDs or kids. Other than that, I don't see how it would be important.
Yes, it is. Romantic and sexual relationships are a major part of people's lives, so why would I not want to know about them in someone I'm starting to date? I want to get to know her, don't I? You can't get to know someone without learning about their past.
Also, if someone's secretive about their past, it's a red flag.
The only thing that would be of interest to me is what she's willing to do. I don't need to know how many she's done what with or who.
If they're divorced I would like to know it, otherwise I could not care less about prior histories.
Other than stds, kids or divorces I don’t really care. We’ve all got a past, as long that’s where it stays
Eventually I should end up knowing her past. It's not something urgent and really not something that needs to be discussed early on.
Nope it’s nothing to do with you. It’s in the past.
does it change they are?
nope
so leave it alone
I want to know the basics but It is better if you don't share intimate details of your past relationships or make any kind of comparisons. You should never judge someone's past because we all have one so I would keep it to a minimum.
Looking back I would call up EVERY EX to find out the bad stuff and then the good stuff. Yep its been time to go there.
Past is the past. If they are willing it is ok. But if it causes issues I will live without knowing. My guess is they will eventually talk about it the closer we get.
Ofcourse they owe you especially when you're giving them your heart of gold.
Well that could be good or that could be bad depends how you look at it me myself I try not to look at people's past.
Yeah, it's pretty important, I'm not gonna commit for someone who belongs to the streets, like if they have a high body count, or kids, kids doesn't necessarily mean you belong to the streets but I just need to know if u have kids
Everyone has a past. I would be more concerned with other things like honesty and kindness.
Depends on the history.
If it's nothing, then I'd like to know.
But I won't ask, because if it's not nothing then I don't want to know.
I'm totally fine with never speaking about it at all, and will actively avoid the subject.
It would be a crucial piece of information to know incase he tries to cheat on me with his ex.
Yes because my previous experiences were horrible and if she has had equally horrible experiences, then we absolutely need to tell each other.
To certain degree. Where they met, why they felt attracted to each other. Funny stories between both (if there is any).
I think it shouldn't matter, unless they have an STD. I believe you have the right to know about that.
