He doesn't tell you because, truthfully, it's none of your business. That's his past history and most likely he wants to keep it that way.
Have you asked him why he won't tell you?
He said the same thing , because it's in the past and he wants to leave th past in the past. But it if doesn't matter then why doesn't he just talk about it.Quote:

Why are you fixated on knowing this?
Because! They share something special and they will always have a bond and no matter what they will always have "each other"Quote:

That's not fair though. I share everything with him! And he asked if I would marry him so I know he's serious but if we were to be husband and wife we should be able to have an open channel of communication.Quote:

An open line of communication has nothing to do with what is in yours/his past.
But it's not in the past. Their relationship will follow him throughout his life. There's no way of them falling apart. And if I'm going to be a part of his life I should know everything about him.Quote:

My current husband doesn't know how my ex and I met, what went on in our relationship. It's none of his business.Quote:

Agree, you are obsessed and want to know something he does not and honestly should not tell you.
If he ends up telling you something ( if you hound him like a dog and throw a fit after fit) he will just lie to you, because he does not want or should tell you.
You need to accept that he has the right to keep something private. If you can't, you will never be happy.
This is how it works, he tells you that they meet at a Mexican food place, and that they broke up over her spending.
So you want to stop eating Mexican since it reminds you of her every time you do, then you start comparing how he meet you and you will find a way to feel cheated.
Then you will start fighting over these things, happens every day.
It is obvious you are obsessed, don't want to listen to the truth, ** guess you expected everyone to agree with you.
Is this your first relationship with someone with a past ?
Do you have any kind of contact with the baby mama or the baby? Did you share your past with him willingly, or did he ask? Does he share other things about his past with you? How old are you both? How does he treat his baby, and her mama? Is he regularly in there lives? How long have you been curious about the baby mama? Are you afraid he will go back to her? Do you know his parents or siblings?
Sorry for all the questions, just need a better picture of you and him, and how you interact after 3 years, and considering marriage.
Yes. It is the first relationship I had with a guy with such baggage. Why does he get to have to women and I only him.Quote:

I have no idea how he treats her but he seems to enjoy his son. I have no idea what happens on the other side. I'm like th mistress.
Are you saying you don't know his mom, dad, or siblings??
I haven't met his mom, his dad is out of the picture. But I've met one of his siblings.Quote:

Yes I do. I live on my own and so does he.Quote:

Does he have friends, or a social life you share, with others? How well do you know these friends? Seems your answer just leads to more questions. Sorry about that.
Yea I've been his friends but he's a very private person. So my question is how do you not worry about this other woman? Don't you feel like the number two? I heard all men feel that the women who bear their children always will somehow belong to them or have a special connection. I don't want him to have that with anyone else but me. Is that asking too much? I don't think soQuote:
