Is there such a thing as knowing too much information about your partner? My friend asked her man about his number of sexual partners and his response shocked her. She hasn’t stopped thinking about it and keeps asking how he managed to get such high numbers.

It is clear that she thinks he has too many for her comfort level. Her image of him has shifted and she believes it is something she can get over ..eventually but it will take some time. Is it really fair to ask questions of your mate about what they did before they met you?

How much info should we be privy to? What kind of questions do you ask about your partner’s past?

Have you ever been unfairly judged about your past?
