To start off, I'd like to thank everybody who responds to this post and helps me through my situation. Here's my dilemna:

 

I'm crazy in love with my boyfriend of 2 years. He's 30 and I'm 28. He's my first relationship and the first man I've ever slept with. I used to be a larger woman and, before I lost the weight, I purposely avoided men because I was so ashamed of my body. I wasn't a virgin because of beliefs - I just didn't feel very good about myself. My boyfriend on the other hand, has had several partners (not hundreds - but a dozen or so) and was also previously engaged.

 

Now I realize that finding somebody with absolutely no past is difficult - and it wasn't my intention to find somebody like that. I just hate the fact that he's experienced everything before. I can't seem to get over it. I know it sounds ridiculous but he's my life - and I can't bare thinking that he was with other people and was in love with somebody else (they were engaged but broke up after she cheated on him). I feel like he's always comparing me to them ... it's all in my head but I feel like he is.

 

Please - I could use any advice at all to try and get over the fact that my man had a life before me. I keep picturing him with other girls and I often wonder if he thinks of them as often as I think of them.

 

Any help would be appreciated!
