A male United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hi, I've never before classed myself as a jealous person at all ever, but then I guess I've never been in a situation that meant I had to be, until now. In December both myself and my new GF separated from our past relationships and we met each other at a mutual friends wedding in May were we ended up in a caravan for a night of great "fun". Since then even though we are 300 miles apart we've spent every waking hour we can together and it's openly the best, easiest, fun, loving relationship we've both been in as we are similar in ever way from interests to humour to sex drive and enjoyment of exploring each other and getting to know each other better and completely etc. In a relatively short time we've done so much together and have lots of plans made already for our growing future together. It's safe to say that when we were living our post breakup separate lives we both went all out for fun and enjoyment and to get the most out of sigledom while we could, and probably to take our minds off what we had both left behind. Anyway only recently has snippets of what we got up to started to slip out, at first it was just funny references or comments that would leave you guessing but now I've kind of uncovered that my new GF did actually go off the scale (admittedly my scale!) in pleasing herself and was part of everything from threesomes with strangers on holidays, had multiple one night stands with men of all ages, she's 32 but her conquests include a 17 year old etc.. In all up to now I've counted 10 partners in the 5 months from when she separated from her ex.. Anyway, I'm actually scared now to keep digging as I don't know what I'll find or even if I could mentally take anymore?! I've always been realistic, I've always enjoyed sex and harmless one night stands myself when single, and I haven't been a prude Myself since I separated from my ex with a number of partners in my "free" time. My question is this really.. Am I simply just an overjealous fool cos I didn't go as wild as she did, god if that's possible!? Or does anyone else think that her single behaviour is excessive and should I be worried?? She is a lovely open and honest, sometime to honest, fun loving person who gets on with everyone (obviously!) and I love her like crazy and can tell she does me too. I just dont know what to think? Any comments or advice or observations would be great thanks!

I'm not sure i agree with the anonymous advice that her promicious past made her the person you love today, but anyhow, it is clear you love this girl, and you can also see that you are jealous of her past - that's a big thing when you can admit an issue is your own and not the other persons.

If you both develop a strong and deep relationship then I think you will be able the past behind you. You seem mature enough to do this. I think her past might always strike a bad chord with you, BUT, if you feel secure in yourself, and secure in the relationship then it will just be a small issue that you can keep under control yourself. Give it time, and work to have a great relationship and I think it will be fine.

I guess Im just as sensitive as most people are and would love not to know anything about what she got up to or with who and just pretend it didn't happen!

Those not so lovely images of her doing all these things do feed my, admittedly at times, very overactive imagination but then I know some people are far more sensitive than others too? Heck I guess I'm still learning about me as each relationship I've been in has taken me to some vastly varied places.. This is just the next one on the list! Can I handle her past to win me the passionate, loving and fun person that I've come to adore? Put another way, would I rather live my life without her in it because of a few things she was entitled to do as a single person..? Nah! Surely that's just being stupid?

You love the woman she used to be more than the one she is now.

There is nothing inherently wrong with that, it just is.

Hi and thanks for your responses which both feature the words faithful and cheating. Now the part I left out of my initial explanation was that my new GF ended her previous 6yr relationship by having a fling with someone else. Now she has poured out her guilt and hurt to me about this, which seemed genuine. It was just an unhappy relationship which she admitts to being in far longer than she should have been. And to be honest that's another similarity of ours as I was in the same boat. Anyway she has said that that was her ex's fear was that she was always going to betray him... And in the end she did! Again very very honest and open, which I applaud, but I could help but hear a slight alarm bell! Why would he have thought this, and should I? So yes, I guess I now by default have a niggling feeling that she could be unfaithful to me, but I could be fabricating this from all she's told me about herself? Plus, how long can you actually rebound for?

But I also completely see the first point, I really do love her and for the first time in my life feel exactly the same back from someone, it feels amazing! So I can see that she is sho she is now only by what she's experienced and been through! I guess in my mid 30's you can't help but come into a new relationship with a few wounds like I am doing and easily get suspicious! Can't afford to waste more years I just want to completely trust someone & hopefully it will turn out to be her with a little time and proof?

Are u afraid that she will not be faithful?

Are u afraid that she is now used to the "free mutiple" sex partners and will get bored with you?

Look at her past (prior to he breakup). Also check out her friends. Are they just good time girls, sleeping with anything and everything?

Are u certain she is not a rebound girl?

The woman you love became the woman you love thanks to ALL the experiences in her life, those included. If you love her openness and confidence, you have her experience to thank for that. Unless you have reason to believe she is not being faithful to you, be happy you two have so much enjoyment from each other. Best of luck :)
