I need help getting over my boyfriends past...
Hi, my boyfriend and I have been together for over a year now.
He is a very good guy, he treats me with respect, does anything for me, and is always with me. He loves me very much and he reminds me every single day&night.
I love him, with all my heart... I can't imagine my life without him, he tells me that he wants to spend his future with me.
You see, he's the longest one I've ever been with and the most serious. And I live with him now (I'm 19 & he's 23)
Thing is, I can't get over his past. I try hard not to let it bother me, but it does... a lot. Sometimes I break down crying, and start asking stupid questions... he tells me the truth, but I just can't handle it... I get so mad about everything he tells me... When we fight, its ALWAYS about his past, and only his past... if only I could get over it...
I hate it... I hate how I am about it. And I'm reminded EVERYDAY of it because of ALL the writings on his wall, I can't even count about how many different girls' names I see on it.
The writings even include things like Him&another girls name beside it saying forever. And his exes name saying "For life" beside it. But he scratched it off already...
This is the girl who he's been with the longest, but ever since I came around he stopped talking to her because of how she is towards me... I'll just say she's jealous and done things like ruining my friendships with other people and sending me messages on Facebook about him.
Anyway, his psycho ex is just another problem... its his past that bugs me the most... I'm NOT in any part of it, even though we were both acquaintances he only treated me as a nobody, a nothing... JUST a girl who he's NEVER even tried talking to...
Sure, he notices friends that are younger than me and he's bothered MOST of them. He snuck them home and did things late at night... it kills me to imagine it, and I can't help it.
I can't accept his past, because they were all my closest buddies that he was bothering, so they've already told me about him (before we were together). And this is how I know about it.
One time, two of my best friends started fighting each other over him... because he's done it with both of them at the same night! Ew.
AND. He tells me that he made 2 other girls pregnant, but they had miscarriages, and these 2 girls are my friends...
I already talked to him about everything, and he says that he's sorry and that he was a stupid kid who thought drinking was cool. Yeah, he was always drunk when he had sex with them. And He tells me that he changed and smartened up.. so he's not like that anymore. He stopped going out before I was with him, he stopped talking to his friends that made him drink all the time, and he ticks other girls off that tried to get to him.
I try to calm myself down by telling myself that I'm his second longest, and that he's in the best relationship he's ever been in, and that I'm the first who he's ever said that he wants to spend his future with...
He tells me, that he wants to start a new life with me by getting married and I'm the first he's asked to live with him...
I... just can't help myself about his past! I don't know what to do to relieve my thoughts about it... I try so hard but I just end up breaking down even more the longer I hold it in.
I know... I know... he loves me, we're both the happiest when we're with each other, and that's all that should matter right? But I'm stuck, in my boyfriends past... and I need help!
