What to Tell Your Partner When They Ask About Exes: The Right Answers to Awkward Questions
In an effort to create a trusting atmosphere in a new relationship, many girls become overly frank and begin to tell their partner about their past relationships.
According to the psychologist, such a “heartfelt confession” could harm the current romance, since such information would certainly cause strong negative emotions in the man.
But it also happens that a young man himself begins to ask about former partners.
What to do in such a situation? Try to avoid such dialogues so as not to cause a negative reaction.
Most likely, your partner doesn’t need the truth – he simply lacks confidence.
Answer directly: "I don't want to remember the past. My present and best is you."
A good option is to turn the conversation into a joke: “You are the first real man in my life”, “Everything that happened before doesn’t count”.
If your new boyfriend keeps trying to get information about your past, think about why he's doing it.
Sometimes the reason may be the desire of the other half to make you feel guilty for the previous affair. Such relationships cannot be called healthy - most likely, the man is trying to manipulate you.
