Hi everyone, something has been on my mind lately so I decided to find a forum to discuss it. This one seemed like the most popular and definitely the most friendly
Anyways, I am a 17 year old male, and I have been involved in a very serious long-distance relationship with a girl the same age as me. We are both very mature, bright young adults. We've been dating for about 5 months, although I have known her for a year prior to the start of our romantic relationship. Everything is great between us.
Here is my dilema:
Before we started dating, my girlfriend was very promiscuous. She has had many different sexual partners, while I have had none. We have discussed this, and the issue is not that I'm being pressured into sex, or that I don't trust her. In fact, she is very understanding and goes at whatever pace I choose. I just have a hard time accepting that she has been so wild in her past. I often get depressed thinking about how she has had many flings before me. Quite honestly, it breaks my heart. She used to openly tell me about her experiences when we were just friends. Now that we are dating, she rarely mentions anything about her sexual past around me, which I greatly appreciate. I'm just having trouble thinking about how such an amazing girl could have made mistakes like that =/
Can anyone offer any words of advice or comfort?
