  Yeah, the last girl I went out with saw pictures of my ex-wife on Facebook and she was like ooooh, you’ve got a type. Hadn’t actually occurred to me but looking back I guess I do.

  Generally speaking, if conversation like this freaks out my partner I would reconsider my relationship. Thats wayy too simple of a thing to get emotional over. >
  
  Idk about freaking out, but I think it’s fair that people would feel weird about it. Nobody likes being compared >
  
  Yes, I don’t like being compared to their exes neither, but a decent person with a normal mindset would never do that to their loved one. >
  
  Yeah i guess it depends on how you bring it up, but having taboos in a relationship is hard for me. >
  
  It's a bit like how someone being similar to your parents increases the chance of a successful relationship. Something we all know but non of us discuss. >
  
  I’m cool about not wanting to mention their past, people can have bad times. But do not want to be  reminded about it “regularly” is different from hiding it from your partner, that’s a good way to destroy a loving relationship. Just tell her/him and move on, if they love you, they will understand.
