Friends with a sexual past?
Posted: 12/18/2005 11:18:30 PM
So, here's the thing. I'm in a new relationship and I was wondering what most people thought was normal when it comes to friends of the opposite sex and more specifically friends with a sexual back ground. Should you be expected to give up those friends? If so, why? If not, why not? How would you feel about knowing that your girlfriend/boyfriend kept up with friends, casual lovers, and/or ex's?

I don't think you should give up your old friends, but I definitely think your relationship with them should now include the new person in your life.

If you are committed to this new person, and you wish to socialize with past friends, you should only do so in the presence of your new partner.

It's disrespectful otherwise.

I would definately not give up your friends no matter what. As long as you and your partner are comfortable with that. Male or female. Doesn't matter. Your past is your past and if you're happy in your relationship then you should be fine still talking to friends from your past.

I have a very good friend who was a lover. My ex was jealous of him from the start, when by chance I made and introduction and said 'my friend'...so that was even before I had chance to explain. But he got worse and worse about it...it put both a strain on my friendship and my relationship. And i was trying to make him trust me as much as possible. But it turned out he was just a very insecure person generally.

So yes, trust is one thing, but your partners insecurities are the other issue!! xxx

I know what you mean. My ex had a problem with all my friends. I should have seenit as a clue but I didn't. He made me tell him I regretted what I did in the past. I didn't get into trouble but I was never the poster child for morality. I wish I could go back to those days and maybe change a few things around but I definately don't regret anything.

Poster child for morality.... hmmm why do you allow some one else to dare to judge you? Yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery. Be proud of where you have been and look forward to who you may become
