The magic number....

I have been with my boyfriend for 6 months, he is older than me by 3 years. We were talking about getting a sexual health check up, which I though was a good conversation to have.

I have not been with many guys and dont enjoy sleeping around so never have.

But I learnt from our conversation that he used to sleep with quite a few girls at university and doesnt seem to think bad of it.

I have been feeling really bummed out about this. Maybe I just dont like the idea he has been with other people, or has been with more people than me, or just that maybe I am feeling guilty for judging him for sleeping around a bit when he was younger? Esspecially as I never did, maybe Im regretting not having as much fun and sleeping around a bit more is what I should have done?

Has any one else every felt like this and what did you do? Any answers will be really great!!

Taylor87,

Not to worry, what you are experiencing is normal. Just hearing the majic number can send you into a frenzy, well, just because they occured before you even existed in his life.

Dont be intimidated by your boyfriends many experiences because the truth is if his choice was to move on after all these experiences it is proof positive that they were not that great and dont deserve any further recognition or investigation.

Dont be bummed out, especially because you have not had as much experience. Truthfully I think if you had as much experience you probably would be more depressed. All the time and energy wasted would be just as bad or worse than the feeling you have now.
