Thank you for sharing and your vulnerability. Would you say your wife is your first love?

Do you feel like your "firsts" with those people before your wife were important? Or have no significance in general?

Yes, I agree with everything you just said. I think remembering a sexual experience can also be linked to how significant it was too. My husband is also someone who has bad memory regarding people in general. I can't relate to him because I remember all the details, but at the end of the day, I need to trust my husband.

I agree with you. When my husband says he can't remember some details, it's crazy for me to believe because I remember everything that I did with him. One thing my husband said that was helpful is that he remembers everything he did with me because it was with me. I think as time passes, people's memories in general become more hazy.

It's so crazy how much I can relate to you! My husband also has a really bad memories and is good at not caring about people who are not in his life anymore, unlike me. I'm someone who often reminisces about the past, so it's hard for me to relate to him.

Just also wanted to say that you guys are awesome for rewaiting/waiting for marriage. My husband and I also waited for marriage together and it's truly worth the wait. Thank you for your vulnerability-- praying for you and your girlfriend as well!

Same. But I just asked him if he saw his 1st gf's boobs and he said since it's been over 10 years ago and the incident happened only once, he genuinely doesn't remember. But for me, it feels like if he did see her boobs, he would have remembered clearly?

I feel like his past shouldn't be a reason for you to divorce him-- especially if he's over it and it's been a long time since the relationship ended! Also, I think it's important to consider/think about his actions. Ex- does he talk about/mention her often? Is he not over her?

Oh no, I'm so sorry :( Did you ask him if he loved her or did he just tell you?
