I spent a long time thinking about it and realized that his past is my only problem. There is nothing really present tense that bothers me about him. Like you said, it is the past and has nothing to do with us. All of it was a year and a half or more ago and he didn't even know me then.
I spoke to him yesterday when we went for a quiet walk and told him that for whatever reason I am not the personality type that can handle knowing that sort of stuff and that he should only tell me what will affect me directly and is important with that regard. I also promised not to ask questions about things that I may not be able to handle the honest answer to.
We will see how it plays out but I do know since we made that agreement yesterday, I have felt better and so has he. We actually had fun. I understand how you feel. My now husband made the unfortunate move after we'd only been dating for a few weeks of giving me access to an old online journal he had once kept. It was all very old stuff. The most recent entry was a year before he met me. But he had written about all of his previous girlfriends and their sex lives and it took me a long time to get past some of the words he had written about some of them: how great the sex was, how hot this one was or that one, how passionate the relationship was, etc. And these were things he had written years before meeting me. Still, I had a terrible time getting some of his words out of my head and not wondering all the time if he felt the same way about me. We're married now and I hardly ever think of those doubtful days. So much time has passed, I doubt that he has any clear memories at all of sex with anyone but me. I know I certainly don't remember any of my previous lovers clearly. They've all just sort of faded together and into each other and I really don't remember any of the details of our sex lives. Time will probably take care of this problem with your guy, too. As long as he's not cheating on you are actively comparing you to anyone else, you should be fine. Just keep his focus on you and he'll eventually forget all the others.
