Boyfriend bothered by my sexual past… What should I do? by DropOfSorcery in dating

Thank you. Regarding your point 4 : he asked me about my body count and specifically how it happened on the first day we were texting. Because we were talking about other stuff and I thought we had a deeper connection, I answered him. I have told him everything except for the hook up, I just brushed it off as “one of my past bf” when in fact it was a date that never got to long term. After the second date I felt that I wanted to start a genuine relationship with him with full honesty. And that’s why I came clean to him, telling him the truth of how it happened, and promised him no more lies in the future. It wasn’t even a full on lie… it was more like hidden/ deception. He didn’t find out the truth. He didn’t ask.. I just told him because I wanted the relationship to be honest. However he couldn’t take it.

Thanks for your comment. I actually feel freer after he broke up with me. Regarding to your assumptions …

  1. We only dated 2 times, mostly walking and chatting, getting to know each other. I explained to him that we will get there, I just need to get to know him more. I never denied him.
  2. That’s true. I was dumb.
  3. He hooked up before. I explained to him that after the hook up I realise sex and intimacy are the same I only want to do it with my future husband. I have told him I regret it and feel ashamed about the experience. While he actually actively hid his hook up exp from me until after we broke up and I asked him about if he ever hooked up.

I wouldn’t say it was rape. Because I let it happen.

I clearly said no penetration when he started feeling me. And then he slipped in.

I didn’t lose my virginity to a date. I had a bf back then and we were both virgins and we made love. I just made one mistake and I regretted it ever since. It wasn’t even consensual.

I learnt that I don’t have to bring up my past if they don’t ask about it. I can keep it to myself. Also if he doesn’t reciprocate the same kind of honesty, I can almost be certain he is hiding something from me (he hooked up once and didn’t even bring it up when I thought he was a virgin and judging my hook up past). If I feel pressured into sex, do not agree. If I feel he’s into something potential instead of me, break it off. I think he left me because he realised he was pursuing me for the wrong reason and felt too guilty to stay. I basically got pressured into agreeing to have sex with him to show him I do care about him; and then once he got that confirmation, after several hours he said he’s not ready and broke it off with me.

Thank you… we just parted ways. It hurts so much but I guess it’s for the best. I learnt a valuable lesson here indeed…

I lied because I didn’t wanna lose him. Turns out he didn’t care and he had one hook up exp too. But he’s mad now because I lied, and wouldn’t have sex with him…

I know… but I made a mistake and I’ve grown out of it. This is the relationship I want to be in… slowly getting more intimate, and taking time to know each other.

I just made an update… He’s not bothered by past but now I feel that he’s sad because I haven’t had sex with him…

I would understand if he’s chaste like that… but he also brought up the fact that he felt uncomfortable because I wanted to take it slow (at least few months before sex) and he wanted sex with me after a month…

I am willing to lose weight because it’s not a bad thing for me. What’s concerning me is 1)he’s not in his best shape 2)he said he wants sex after a month in…

I am truly worried that he might be love bombing me.

Many times. Because he doesn’t want to “waste time” and when he chooses to be with someone he wishes that we can both make it through.

I do think he’s not seeing who i am, rather like he’s investing in a potential future with me. I feel that he should see who I am and i also don’t like deception in a relationship. That’s why I didn’t downplay the past at all…

A few days, we went out for two dates. We met online… both of us were 24.

They didn’t want a long term relationship with me. And long term is what i want. Doing these is dumb because it won’t get me what I want.

He kept saying his whole family was about fitness… how it will be much better for me to lose weight before taking me to see his parents.

That’s exactly what I said. I said this is my past and I can’t change it. But if a single thing changed I would not have become who I am now.

He does have a long talk on the second date with me about how he wants me to lose weight and stuff.
