I’ve been dating a wonderful man for about seven months now. We are both in our 20s and our relationship is everything I could ever dream of — except for one issue. I can’t seem to get over his sexual past. I am a strong believer in waiting for the right person, so when I met him I basically was a complete virgin (I’d only ever kissed before). Everything I have ever done sexually, I did with him for the first time. Eventually, curiosity got the best of me, and I asked him how many people besides me he has been with. I was shocked when he told me that I was his seventh. That number doesn’t include people he “fooled around with” but stopped just short of sex. Thinking about that fact literally makes me sick to my stomach. I’ve tried to get it out of my mind, but I can’t. I have talked to him about it a bit, but this issue still eats away at me. Sometimes when I look into his eyes, my mind just goes blank. All I can think about is how he has looked at another girl the same way, has done these same intimate things to her, has had these intimate things done to him by another girl. It is enough to drive me crazy. I know I can’t blame him for things that happened before he knew I existed, but that doesn’t stop these feelings from popping up. Do you have any advice on how to get over or work around this issue?
