Although we’re constantly grilling our boyfriends for more information about themselves, in some instances, ignorance is bliss. Read on for five things you really don’t want to know about your man…
1. His number.
Face it, ladies: you really don’t want to know how many women came before you. Nothing good can come of a discussion about the number of past sexual partners. If his number is higher than you were expecting, you’re just going to feel like another notch in the bedpost. If it’s (unlikely) lower than you would expect, you will probably start to wonder what is wrong with him?! Although it is important to talk about sexual history in order to prevent the spread of STD’s, a specific number has no bearing on sexual health. Thus, unless you want this information to make you feel insecure, you’re better off not asking. And likewise, your man probably doesn’t want to know your number either.
2. Whether he thinks about his exes when he’s with you.
Knowing this information will just make you insecure. Have you ever thought about an ex since you began dating him? Well, chances are he’s thought about an ex as well. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing: after all, you’re with him, and she’s not. Men frequently need to compare their current girlfriend with girlfriends past, in order to analyze what’s good and bad about the relationship. However, there’s really no need to know whether he’s thinking about someone else. The bottom line is that he’s with you.
3. How you rank compared to his exes.
Again, this knowledge will only make you feel insecure. Focus on the bottom line: that he’s with you now. Unless he has specifically discussed anything that he wishes you were or were not doing, he obviously is not worrying that you’re not as good as someone he used to date; thus, you shouldn’t either. Instead, ask him what he likes and what he wants, and pay attention. This goes for both sexual and relationship issues.
4. What he does when you’re not around.
Okay, okay- so you might actually want to know most of the things he does when you’re not around. What you don’t want to know are things like how much porn and what types he looks at. Again, it’s just counterproductive. Unless he’s an addict, or you have some sort of religious objection to his looking at porn, don’t even bother to ask.
5. What his parents really think of you
Parents are generally hard to please. They’ve seen their share of women come and go in your man’s life. It’s not unusual for parents to not like their son’s girlfriend (and especially so for your man’s mother!). However, the reality is that many couples get married even if the parents don’t love their son’s girlfriend/wife/fiance. Thus, you shouldn’t worry that Mrs. Right might not like you as much as she liked her son’s ex. Your man should simply not discuss these things with you, because no good can come of it. After all, you’re dating your boyfriend, and not his parents.
