Your honest opinion is needed, please help.?

Why does the new boyfriend insist on telling me about his past relationships including details of intamacy, I have told him these are things I really don't want to know, I feel I don't need to know the details...I understand everyone has a past and sometimes the details of that past don't necessarly have to be discussed in great length, but he seems to want to do this, I would like to hear your opinion on why he does this.

    You sound very young.

    Some reasons:

    1. Could be that he just feels really comfortable with you and wants you to know about his past.

    2. He could be lost, searching for reasons things didn't work out.

    3. Might not be over the "past" if you know what I mean.

    4. He might be a little more mature than you and wants you to contribute to deep conversations

    5. He loves you

    I don't know - it's almost like he's trying to prove something to you. Maybe he feels some type of inferiority to you and needs you to know how "manly" he is...

    ie:"...see, look at all the great wonderful/romantic/sexual things I'm capable of."

    Maybe if you stroked his ego a bit more - tell him how much you appreciated his insight about whatever, or how well he performed some task, or some personality attribute you admire...etc....

    He'd stop some of this - also -

    be aware of your responses when he talks like this...what are you doing/saying that's making him "go there?"

    I'm thinking he may not feel "good enough" - I don't think he's trying to make you jealous. I don't think it's that simple.

    He hasn't moved on from his past relationships. Everyone's got baggage but he's yet to get it sorted in anyway. All his problems and insecurities are going to be quickly transfered from old relationships on to the current one, you might want to get while the gettings good.

    there could be many reasons some good some more worrying I'm a guy i know.

    tell him you are not interested for now at least first get to know each other better on a more platonic level if he insist move on babes.

    maybe he is still stuck in the past. the next time he does this just say something like "call me when you and your ex break up" or "you should give them a call because its obvious that you still think about them a lot"

    He is a foolish little boy txflower, you deserve better. It will be quite a long time before he grows up, if at all. He is completely disrespectful to you and all.
