As always, I want to be clear that I am not a relationship expert, so everything I write on this topic is solely my opinion and based on my personal experiences, but hopefully it gives you a different point of view or reinforces what you’re already thinking!
Everyone’s got one. And your partner is no exception.
First of all, respect the ex. Who knows what your amazing, perfect boyfriend put his ex through that led to their breakup, but you can bet there was some heartbreak involved. Be compassionate and put yourself in her shoes. And if she was a lying, cheating - fill in choice expletive - and she crushed him, you can respect her for being that way so your boyfriend ended up free to date you.
Forget the past. Right now, take a deep breath in and let go of every single detail about your boyfriend’s dating life before you two were together. He didn’t know all the things he would love about you then, because if he did, he wouldn’t have been there doing that. Let thoughts of the past be off limits. Trust me, guys don’t do things they don’t want to do, and he’s chosen to be with you — so you know where he stands.
When all else fails, remember this: whoever was a part of his past, had a part in making him who he is today — and you really like him today, right?
