Ok, so I've recently started seeing someone new. We were having a chat the other night and he asked me to be honest with him about a few things from my past. I went on a girls holiday a few years ago (way before I met him) and I had sex with a few people. I was young and stupid... I recently came out of a relationship and lost my way a little bit. He caused a big argument about how many people I've slept with and about what I did on holiday. I understand it probably wasn't nice to know what I did but in my eyes the past is the past. On the night of the argument we seemed ok again and then ended up having sex. He went home and then told me he was still upset about what he found out!!! 3 days on he's STILL going on about it. I've apologised for upsetting him and explained I wouldn't even think about doing anything like that again I was young. I just don't know what else I'm meant to do!!! I've told him if he doesn't want to be with me that's fine just stop dragging it on. I've told him how I feel and that I want to be with him but I can't make him. On the same night I asked him to hold my daughter (not his baby) and he made a comment saying he's not a babysitter which upset me but I didn't say anything about it :/

He has some cheek when he's slept with more, he obviously doesn't see you as equals, there's your first flag.

He's punishing you for having a life before you met him - you really need to tell him to fottfsof = fuck off. He sounds immature and unkind.

princessmi12 Never heard of this Russian proverb (grew up in USSR)

Do you know I have heard it was an old Russian proverb, but I also heard it was an old Jewish proverb.
Either way its good isn't it?? Grin

This can only get worse. He's an arsehole. Hypocritical, uses hate words like 'slag', made that nasty comment about babysitting.

He's a prick and no good can come of this. Guaranteed.

Do yourself a huge favour. Get him to fuck & don't look back. This will only be the beginning & he will get worse.

So you were supposed to be a pristine virgin?

He has some horribly warped views about women and this will be a stick to beat with you forever.

He's not worth it

Get rid! This is just the first of many such arguments you will have (and you will be made to feel worse and worse about yourself) if you continue with this relationship. It doesn't matter what you did on holiday and with whom, that was your choice and he has no right at all to judge you for it. He shouldn't have asked if he didn't want to know. All controlling relationships start with the 'first' time.

If a partner called/likened me to a "slag", it would be a complete deal breaker.

Don't let him slut-shame you. When you're single, you have the right to have (preferably safe) sex with as many people as you choose. No shame in that at all.

Get rid. He will bring this up in every argument you have otherwise, "Ooh, you were flirting with the bar-tender, whilst buying our drinks", err, yeah, I smiled at him out of politeness.

I would put a month's wages that his insults will increase, been there, got the t-shirt when I was younger. "Slaggy" indeed! Angry

So, he asks you a very personal question which is none of his business anyway you answer and he gets in a strop?

He sounds about 14.

He's not a nice guy, he's a wanker pretending to be a nice guy to suck you in.

It doesn't matter if you slept with 3 guys in one week, one day or one hour, he has no right to pass any judgement.

As others have said this is the start.
Make it the end too

Thank you to everyone who has replied. I guess your all right. The signs are there and when I actually think, there is more than just this argument. Like for example I went for a meal with my family last night and he made comments about me not inviting him even though he was working and I did my hair and make up and he said to me "why don't you make an effort for me?" ... I have a 4 month old baby... I don't have the time to do my hair and make up like I used too!! I guess I'll be having the conversation of getting rid later tonight Grin

OP, no matter what you do he will find fault, he's one of life's miserable bastards with a grudge for everyone, especially women by the sounds of it, I am sure you can do a million times better, do not tolerate any person speak to you like this.

He'll have asked you about your sexual past for the sole purpose of getting something "on" you that he can refer to ad infinitum. Stick around and I would bet you my best bottle of wine that he will use this as "proof" that you are likely to cheat on him and must therefore out up with incredibly controlling behaviour.

Major red flags here.
Was your last relationship abusive?

You should not have to apologise for something you did whilst single, it doesn't matter if you slept with 3 or 10 men in a week (provided you were safe hopefully) it's absolutely none of his business and he can't punish you for it. Calling you a slag is a massive sign of what kind of person he is. "I've been with slags before..." Hmm

I have asked DP about his past, and he is very painfully honest and yes it hurts, but I asked. I can't get upset over something that happened before he even knew I existed. And if he dared try and make me feel bad for my past I would think he was a dick to be honest.

My Dh and I have no idea about our respective sexual pasts (assuming no active STI'S of course). It's not his business and vice versa.He would not dream of quizzing me on this matter.

Oh christ get rid! You've nothing to apologise for, plus he calls women slags, what's the betting that when you dump him he'll be calling you a slag too.

ayeokthen · 02/08/2016 15:46

He actually used the word "slag"??? What a cunt. Whether you had sex with half of the U.K or not before you met him is nothing to do with him! A man that refers to a woman as a slag is nowhere near boyfriend material imo.

You have done nothing wrong and you've been honest. You can't do anything about your past, if he finds it that unacceptable he knows where the door is. Alarm bells there for me!

I stupidly stayed with a guy who asked me this same question...he became obsessed about my past and very jealous that I had a child with someone else...and he didn't believe me anyway-convinced himself there must have been loads more.
I had over a year of absolute hell with him, controlling, telling me what to wear, accusing me of sleeping around and basically stalking me.
Please get out asap!x
