Yeah, how have you guys dealt with your girlfriends past?
I suppose I could ask girls how they deal with their guys pasts but I dnot really think they're programmed to be as territorial as men.

My girlfriend once pointed to a guy on her bus and said, thats my ex.
That was enough for some crazy testosterone fueled rage to bubble inside me.

What Im saying is that us guys tend to freak the fuck out over things girls have done in the past.
Any stories you're willing to share?

Oh you're so wrong there.

Early on when I was dating my last boyfriend, he'd left his Email open while he'd gone downstairs for something, and I saw an Email he'd sent to his ex, saying "i really love you. Please dont leave me" or some shit like that.
And I totally flipped out. I grabbed my stuff and left his house, at around 1am in the morning, and started walking the 20 odd miles home by myself. He didnt notive I'd gone for almost an hour.


Turns out, the Email was a few months old..

Yeah but that's different.
You tought it was a current mail right?

She dated this guy like 2 years ago and now she hates him and most of the people he accociates with.
But I still felt uncontrollable angry towards them both...

I got pretty pissed off every time my ex talked about her past boyfriends.

It's like "Do I give a shit about them? No I don't. You're with me now so let it go!"

I wouldn't talk about my past girlfriends and whatnot because that is the past. I was looking to the future with her.
