Most of us come into a relationship with some baggage that can’t be avoided. As much as we say leave the past behind you it is not always possible. This includes past hurts and ex-boy and girl friends. What I suggest is that you try not mix the old into the new. All we can do is learn from the past and break patterns of old behavior.

Many new partners don’t want to hear about your past relationships. Too much information could cause some problems for some. We never want to be compared to past boy or girlfriends. And what if they are still friendly with their ex? Can men and women really be friends after lovers?

I can only name on guy that I’m still really good friends with after dating for a year. Any other of the men still want to hook up every once in awhile. If is very hard to stay friends with someone you still have chemistry with. There are too many games played between the sexes and exes.

I have been dating someone for the past 3 months and he doesn’t want to hear about my past boyfriends or be compared to them. I totally understand and respect he wishes not to go too deep into my past relationships. Sure we talk in general terms about our past but that’s it.

If you are still hung up on the past it is going to get in the way of your future. Cut the cord and move on!
