Struggling with DP’s past (poss Trigger Warning)

Ok, so this might be a bit TMI.

My DP told me the other week that when he was younger he had sex with a woman in the street on nights out on a few occasions.

He didn’t use protection and he acknowledges that these women were very drunk.

I’m really bothered by this, as it’s totally at odds with my view of him. He has always been open about his past but has told me previously that he was always the one out of his friends who didn’t take advantage of drunk women and made sure they got home
O K.

I’m not jealous I don’t think. He has had lots of ex gfs and I’m totally chilled about this. I wouldn’t even be bothered if he’d had lots of one night stands where the women weren’t really drunk and he didn’t take them behind bins - and treated them with a bit of respect like they aren’t just holes there for his convenience. But this just feels like he has used these women and taken advantage of their drunkenness. He acknowledges that he didn’t make any effort to make it about their pleasure.

I get that everyone has a past and it was a long time ago but I’m really troubled by this. Can someone hand me a grip please and tell me I’m being completely OTT by being bothered by this?

I would dump him as if he thinks this is ok to do (rape) he'll do this to you at some point, too, when you're drunk or asleep etc. If men do this, they think they can do it even more to their partners as they think they have an entitlement to 'sex' from their partner.
