I don't think most of us guys care much about previous partners, other than to know they existed and are no longer a factor, I would spare them the details and just make it known it was so. If that's a big problem for your new partner you may want to rethink things as the guys that have big problems with that are the ones that tend to be over controlling. Just be straightforward, simple, and let it go.
Hope this helps.
To be honest what does one thing have to do with the other. What is in the past is in the past. Moving right along.... especially if you are dealing with an adult.
If you feel it will be a problem, don't mention it.
Any details you guys tell a girlfriend or wife about previous girlfriends, wives, or general sexcapades will thrown in your face every time you have an argument.
I think your new love should know all the basics, but some of the intimate details should not be shared. Guys sometimes can't handle too much info! It keeps things happier if you are totally honest without sharing too much stuff!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
