[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of this also depends on what you want in the relationship- marriage, kids, etc.

I'm late 30s and divorced with one kid, don't have any interest in getting married or living with another adult again.  Have been with someone for 3.5 years and the only relationship I actively inquired about was the most recent one as it produced a child.  Everything else before that, doesn't matter, and I think would only hurt me more.

And as long as you're dating someone stable and responsible, not sure why people, especially adults feel the need to know about the past number of sexual partners.  What purpose does that serve?  Does anyone feel good after finding out??[/quote]

You don't have to feel good about finding out but the number has to make you feel comfortable. The one I'm dating told me he has had eight partners but he also told me he has had eight relationships. So I asked him again and he got annoyed because I'm asking again. He says he can't remember how many of those eight were relationships. He seems to hold back a lot because I have a feeling some of those eight we're just f*** buddies. And he won't say. I don't know how someone can just forget how many relationships they were in. I was only in love once and I've only been in one relationship.[/quote]
