tennisstar88 agony auntHave you tried talking to him? Well, tell him that you learned from your mistake and that you have already changed tell him that you will prove it. Ask him to give you a trial of like 1-2 months and let him monitor how much you've changed. Seriously, if you've apologized and that doesn't work then you've done everything you could you're out of options you will have to accept it and move on. You're young there's other guys out there.

I think he realizes everything you say but he still feels differently than you do. He has the right to his own opinions and he may never see this the same way you do.

I think you have the love with him but sometimes that is not enough. It takes people who are compatible and trust each other. Even when you are mostly a good match there are some things that make it unworkable.

Maybe you are not going to go around fearing disease and bacteria but you are not this woman's boyfriend. The fact that she, or you, or anyone else thinks the undisclosed risk is within an acceptable range does not count for squat.

This risk is being applied to his own body and he gets to choose what level of risk he wants to take. He can't do that when the truth gets adjusted to fit whatever does not have bad consequences for his current girlfriend.

She had voluntary sex with her ex. She made a choice. If she lies to her new man about her past then he does not get his rightful choice. I am aware that the truth might cost her the new boyfriend, but those are the consequences of her actions and she must accept them.

1. You lied to him, therefore he left you. Easy peasy.

2. Lesson: be honest with your next boyfriend.

3. You feel attraction for him, not love.

4. You can (and will) feel attraction for other people.

5. Learn from this bad experience.

6. Move on.

That's it, in a nutshell.

tennisstar88 agony aunt@Anon assuming that she's been checked out and so was her previous sexual partner. So are you saying a person's sexual history is a current significant others business? No, it's not. The only thing the other needs to inquire that if the significant other has been checked recently...regardless of how many previous sexual partners and who (which is really the question here). Of course a condom needs to be worn every time. I mean what else are you going to do pour Listerine on your dick? We live in a world of diseases and bacteria I'm not going to go around fearing it.

I think the reason he broke up with you is because he feels betrayed by you telling him you have not had sex with any one and when he found out you lied to him about that, in his mind he is probably think about what else you have not told him the truth about. Honesty is always the best policy.

"Her past doesn't apply to him"? That idea only works in a world without sexually transmitted diseases.

There is no sure method of protection, not even close. Infection rates in sexually active young people are very high. Most infected people are not aware of it. Not all diseases show up on tests. Not all of testable diseases show up right away. Some diseases will not show until years into the future.

tennisstar88 agony auntI don't ever understand guys getting pissed about something that happened before their time. It doesn't apply to him. Also the "Don't ask, don't tell" rule applies as well, I suppose he is unaware of it. However, your mistake was that he found out then asked you for confirmation but you lied. Thus, shattering the trust in the relationship. Now what you can do, is have a serious talk with him explain, that this happened before him and it was nothing but just sex if you were interested in the ex obviously you would be with him instead of this current guy, and that you apologize for lying but you just weren't comfortable of him knowing about that piece of info. Then add you realize that it was wrong to lie about that, you should be completely honest..hopefully he will forgive you because it was just one petty lie...it was also if he was testing you he already knew about it. If he doesn't forgive you then oh well. You're human you make mistakes.

You may not think this is a big deal but he feels differently. He is in a relationship with you, and it matters to him who you are. It is acceptable to tell him nothing about your past but it is not acceptable to tell him lies. He has the right to his own feelings and opinions even if you don't agree.

The trust is broken and that is an extremely difficult thing to repair. He may decide to trust you again or he may not.

He must fully accept you with your real past or he must end the relationship. There can be no middle ground.
