“My boyfriend can’t get over how many people I’ve slept with. I shouldn’t have told him, but he pressed me for the info. He was 'nerdy’ for most of high school and college, and just started coming into his own in his mid to late 20s. I have been dating consistently for years, and have had my fair share of hookups and relationships. And while I don’t think my number is crazy at all, he can’t deal with the discrepancy. We’ve been dating for two years and we’re serious. I don’t want to break up. How can I handle this?”
I agree that you probably shouldn’t have told him, but lots of people fall into the trap of discussing their sexual history with their current partner, and I get it. If you trust someone, it’s natural to want to talk about what you’ve learned from past relationships and sexual experiences. That said, numbers really aren’t necessary, and rarely do anything aside from making one person feel bad.
But you can’t go back, and his reaction may have provoked an important conversation. After all (and as you well know), this isn’t an issue of who has slept with more people. It’s about his comfort with his past, and it’s about both of you establishing that your needs are being met by this relationship.
First, you have to figure out the problem you’re tackling, because it will change the course of action.

Disease Disease Disease Disease.
“No you shouldn’t have told him.”
Bull***t.
“I dont want to break up. How can I handle this? “
The train has left the station. Start making plans for your impending breakup.
Never ask the question if you don’t wish to hear the answer.
Don’t tell someone who doesn’t want to hear.
If you’re happy “in the now” and “the past is the past”, keep it that way.
I wanna hear what Laz’s numbers are...
Lesson: If you have bedded over 300 women, don’t tell your wife!
What was the number? I gotz to know...
Any man who is pressing for that information already has his suspicions and is looking for a reason to despise you. She’s better off getting away from him. Write that 2 years off as a learning experience, because he is never, ever going to forget and it’ll come up again and again. He’s an angry man.
Not only a slut - an ignorant slut.
It would be fitting if her name is ‘Jane’.
The “hot/crazy matrix” displays only two dimensions of a very multidimensional problem. “Slutty” is another dimension which one must consider.
Too many trains in the station was the problem.
Yeah.....no. The issue is about his level of comfort with HER past.
If the number is greater than zero, you should be extremely wary of marrying her, as the divorce and infidelity rates for non-virgin brides are obscene and extreme.
Women should understand that men are looking for virgin wives with no debt and no tattoos, and act accordingly.
Hahahahahahaha
She’s talking about some of them being hookups.
In that case, to my mind, the number doesn’t matter.
She’ll have sex with anyone who’ll drop his trousers.
Nuff said.
Boyfriend says: It’s like throwing a hotdog down the hallway
“Jenna Birch is a relationship coach, journalis [sic], and author”
Oh yeah:
white lie
noun
plural noun: white lies
a harmless or trivial lie, especially one told to avoid hurting someone’s feelings.
Did telling white lies escape the Millenial generation?
Or is White lies just racist?
