I am so totally honest about how many people I've slept with. I have nothing to hide... the number, the names, the number of times, the situation. Whatever.
I grew up in a home where Dad introduced me to his girlfriends and was constantly running around on my Mom. I have always been so insecure and worried about being cheated on. So, to the person I'm in a relationship with, I'm just such an open book when it comes to conversations like that.
To an extent, the past is none of their business, but for me, it just makes me feel better to know that my cards are on the table and they don't experience that same worry that I do or question my interactions in social situations.
("Is that an ex? or someone they slept with? or just a friend?")
It's so twisted. I like the idea of transparency and honesty in a relationship.
More importantly, I just want to know that I'm the best partner in the world. lol. I don't want to feel like I'm competing with someone from your past. If I know who you've slept with, I'll have them found on FB in about 3 minutes beating myself up over who has better curls/eyelashes/cleavage/etc.
It's so dumb, but our insecurities can build us or break us.
I'm rambling now. Conclusion: the who matters more to me than the how many... and I have to be best! Always. Haha!
