I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend Craig for a year and this problem seems to be bothering me more and more, rather than getting better.
I met him when I was 20 and he was actually the first relationship I have ever had. He, on the other hand, has had a number of relationships in the past, and began seeing one of them when he was 17. Craig is now 24 and says that I am the one and that he would like to spend his life with me but I can't stop thinking about him having been with his exes and can't seem to get over it. Knowing that he has been so intimate with people, some of which he didn't even really know very well, sometimes makes me even think I might be happier if I left him. For me sex is something extremely intimate and having never been with anyone else myself makes me wonder whether I can accept his past and move on.
I try and talk to him about it but he says to stop being silly as he doesn't think about them anymore and that he loves me.
What makes things worse is that Craig still sees one of his exes, since after they were in a relationship, they became friends and shared a flat together. This other guy was apparently very jealous of me though because he still had feelings for Craig, who no longer felt anything for him. But once I was looking at some of Craig’s photos on his laptop and found rather intimate photos of them from when they were together. I asked Craig about it and told him it made me unhappy that he still had these photos but he told me that he didn't want to erase his past like that and delete them.
I trust that nothing is going on, but I don't know if I can get over the fact that Craig has been with other people in the past. I want to live my life with him and I love him, but don't know if I can be truly happy. I have already read loads of blogs and gossip sites about getting over your partner's exes, but none of them seem to help. I think the main reason is that Craig is the only person I have been with, and for me sex is something I couldn't do unless I was in love, while some of the times Craig has just done it to 'have fun'.
I would be very grateful for any advice you may have that could help me to move on.

If you feel this way, then the only solution is to dump this guy and find yourself a virgin.
Of course your new virgin might feel the same way about you and think that you cant work in a relationship because you've been to bed with someone else.
It's certainly a conundrum...click to expand

Hi. My Taurus BF & I (Aries) together 9 months. He has been broken up with in all his past relationships basically. We are in our 50s. I have shown insecurity about his ex gf and him not saying loving words to me. We had a talk at 6months he said he wasn’t head over heels with me. He said he didn’t know why he couldn’t say he love me. I said I’m not there yet either and I’m cautious. I said maybe we should take a break. He said no he wants me and he to continue. He said then he’s crazy about me & likes me a lot. He asked for a pass and said he didn’t know what why he said that.
Now at 9 months I’ve been happy and confident but no l I love yous. However he acts like it. He is very loving got me heart necklace and earrings perfume and tix for play for xmas. He wanted me to meet his relatives I did. He is consistent. Texts thru day. Tells me to be safe driving etc. always says gnight. He always rubs my back holds my hand makes me dinners. We both like eachs kids. He always wants to see me wknds and once weekday. Etc. Met his friends etc. I still am wondering how much he likes me and I can’t ask cause he is one who hates talking about emotions. He is on the quiet side. I can ask him but I don’t want to be insecure and that’s how he sees it. My love language is words & touch. his is touch and time together. I’m just afraid if he doesn’t love me yet or won’t love me that I’m wasting time. I’m so confused. I want to know. Pls help. He is also a very slow goer. Lots of past hurts as I’ve said
