However, when you develop a romantic love for someone; retroactive jealousy is unavoidable.
Just to be clear; personally, it's not a big deal. I still love to listen to her stories and I notice how the relationship strengthens every time we do it. But, from time to time, weird thoughts come to my mind. They go away fast, but they do come and that's not very pleasant.
So, my question to all of you (whom I consider to be wiser than me in those regards) is... how do you deal with retroactive jealousy? What can someone (not precisely me but someone who might be really struggling) get over the fact that his GF/Wife had sexual experiences with other men?
I will start:
• A relationship must be based on trust and when the loved one trusts you with that information; the relationship strengthens significantly.
• As Sun Tzu said: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”. Basically, if you know how their former lovers pleased her; you can easily top that.
• She had all the right to enjoy her sex life before being with you; in the same way that you did it. She enjoyed and was enjoyed. And that's fine.
What is your piece of advice?

Live for today and tomorrow, yesterday has gone. What happened in someone's past, before they met their current partner is as relevant as what they had for lunch yesterday.
In my own case, I love my wife to tell me about what she has done with whom. I try to press her for details but she normally claims to not remember.....but loves watching me get hard when she tells a story.
In turn, she asks me about me own experiences and knowing that I have a photographic memory she asks for (and gets) all the details
