How common is it to be jealous of past relationships?

Is it common for people to be jealous of their gf/bf's past relationships? Whenever my girlfriend tells me stories of good times with her ex I get jealous, and sometimes I even ask her questions whose answers i know will make me jealous. Like she says that when she first started seeing her ex they had lots and lots of sex because they had lots of free time and went out drinking more often. This drives me a little crazy, is that normal?How common is it to be jealous of past relationships?
It's very normal to have a jealous streak when it comes to previous relationships, but it's not normal to get angry about what may of happened in that relationship. You partner should not be sharing details with you, however, you did mention that you ask questions even though you know it will bother you, so she's just trying to be honest with you because of the questions you're asking. You two need to focus on your relationship together in building it into a beautiful and lasting thing. If you keep dwelling on the past relationship it can and will destroy what you have now in this relationship.

It's normal to ';fear'; the unknown, and it can feel uncomfortable to think about your loved one being with someone else. However, there IS such thing as too much information!!! It's not necessary to give specific details about past sexual experiences... Just remember that her past relationship wasn't that great because THEY BROKE UP! Leave the past behind and make the best of what you have now, and don't torture yourself asking questions that won't do anything to improve your relationship.





Life and love are way too precious... Good Luck!
I had a boyfriend who was obsessed with my past relationships. He wanted to know details during sex and then would give me a terrible time afterward because of jealousy. I would much rather have shut out those memories and just moved forward having good times with him. It caused so much trouble for our relationship. If you can't learn to move forward and appreciate the person you are with, you will probably end up being a short story in her next relationship. If she doesn't respect your feelings being hurt by making such a big deal of other men, I am guessing that you will be miserable. I don't know about anybody else, but I would love to feel like I am with someone who thinks I am what they want and none of the other past stuff matters.
Completely , no one wants to picture their significant other with someone else, or at least MOST don't, when I found out how many girls my boyfriend had been with before me , it infuriated me and I questioned his character because of it but you realize there are reasons why they're not together anymore and they're with you , and what they did before you doesn't matter anymore because there is nothing you can do to change it.
it is VERY common and it is totally normal. on the other hand, what your girlfriend is doing is not right. she shouldnt be talking about the good times with her ex when she is with you. it just indicates that she still has feelings for him and is using you as a rebound. so, i wouldnt get too attached to this girl.
Well its one thing to talk about your ex to a new partner, but its another to tell them details that only them two should know about. You should sit your gf down and tell her that you feel uncomfortable about her talking about her ex in such ways. There are things that shouldn't be discussed in relationship.
lol yes.


i hate it of course mine was engaged and she was still coming around up until six months ago.


i mean you got to accept the past with the present. Its ok to talk about those things when needed or felt like but all the time would make me uncomfortable. maybe you should tell her to cut it down a bit
She shouldn't really be talking about good times with her ex's because your relationship matters more now. But jealousy is something allot of people deal with because they don't like the idea of their partner with another person. So just kindly tell her that you would really rather not hearing about things she did with ex's.
its very common! some people are jealouse and tries to get their bf's/gf's back .. %26amp;%26amp; its very normal sometimes i get jealouse when i like someone %26amp;%26amp; they are dating someone else ..
You shouldn't be jealous, but it can sure be annoying. Are you sure you want to stay with this girl? Doesn't she get it that you have no interest in her ex?
No, it's not normal. And it's not healthy, either. It's like picking at a scab. Maybe you should talk to a counselor about that.
Dump this chick man!!! She obviously still has a thing for her ex if she brings up crap like this!!! Besides if you just dump her she'll start digging you even more. And then she'll be under your thumb baby!!!
its very common it happens in all relationships no matter what people say everyone gets jealous of stuff like that.
it is normal
its normai, she may be trying to drop a hint or something
