I may be way off base with this answer, but I dont think so. We as women
desire our mate to be more pleased with us then with any romances in his
past. An example, I invite his family over for dinner and make lasagna with
all the extras. Work hard everything going well, someone casually says..
"Wow, now that Nancy(old flame) could really cook". A simple statement such as that, crushes us. I dont understand exactly why but all of a sudden
we feel that we are not as worthy as "Nancy". We love to believe we are
the most wonderful thing that has happened to our mate, any past relationships were not near as wonderful as the current one. Women need
to stop thinking this way and start remembering we are ALL very special
in our own way. We have talents, wisdom, empathy, and tendar hearts.
Be happy with who we are as individuals, and forget the other girlfriends, wifes, relationships. You are the one this person wants to be with so focus
on the postive and let your spirit release good Karma for your relationship
Best Wishes

Poor self esteem. You're worried that your boyfriend still "has a thing" for the old girlfriend.

He's with you now. That says it all.

Very good question. Well I think that we compare ourselves to the ex and ask questions only because we want to see what our men think of us. Are we better? Are we worse? Are we the same? These are the questions that go through our heads. We women try to find out if we are better than the person that our boyfriends were last with. It's like our egos for women to talk about this subject. We like to find out the facts and see the bad in what our boyfriend's ex did and tell it to our friends to show how good of a girlfriend we are. That's what I think. It's an ego thing
