My old boyfriends were in the past, you are my present and my future and I love you more than all of them put together. I need you to understand that you mean the world to me and you have to accept me as a package...that includes my past.
I'm sure if he is the boyfriend you think he is, he will understand.
Best of luck!

Your boyfriend wants toa know that he's all yours, and you dont have anymore feelings for your past boyfriends. Don't bring your ex's up...ever. Nothing good will come of it. Just let your boyfriend know how much you care for him, and assure him that he's the one for you & you hate arguing. I really hope i helped! let me know how it goes! xox

Point blank it is not his business anyways but get that across tactfully. I would tell him to chuck his insecurity as he would never be compared to those who came before him. I think that latter point is what bothers him. He feels inadequate and as though he will be compared to them.
If you feel this will cause a breakup if his behavior continues tell him how you feel. Hopefully, you will be on the same page as eachother once you do. [ GDROB2's advice column | Ask GDROB2 A Question ]
