Mimia,

My advice is to not say anything more about your past. It will color his profile of you and could wreck the relationship. Being honest? You can be honest by being present and showing your love (feelings). Be this present person that you are. There is no need to dreg up the past. The past may have helped mold who you are today but it doesn’t define who you are. Let the past go and live in the present.

Your boyfriend saying he would not date a sex worker means that he is setting boundaries. If you love him and can stay inside those boundaries then live a good life. Don’t upset it with your need to let everything out. It won’t help the relationship. If you need to give a number then no more than three. First love. Rebound guy and this guy you have now. If you had STDs then blame on rebound guy.

Am I telling you to lie? Yes. Why? Cause the only thing that is important is shedding off the past and living in the present. Don’t think of the past. Don’t bring it up. Strive for a better future. We all have regrets. But don’t let the regrets define who you are now.

Sorry if you think that your guy deserves better or that you feel you need to expose your past to him. I don’t think it is healthy to let your guy think you have a sordid past. If you truly have changed then take this chance to live a good life.
