When you find that special someone you want to share your life with, you embrace both their strengths and weaknesses. One common curiosity among partners is the number of previous relationships their significant other has had. While this question can sometimes spark feelings of jealousy, it’s a natural inquiry.

In a lighthearted scenario, a newlywed couple lay in bed when the husband mustered the courage to ask his wife about her past partners. Hesitant, she stared at the ceiling in silence. Pressing her gently, he said, “Just share it with me; it’s okay. How many men have you been with?” Yet again, he was met with silence.

Worried that he might have upset her, he quickly apologized, stating, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you. I thought we could have an open and trusting relationship…” As silence lingered, he added, “That’s alright; please don’t be upset.”

Still receiving no response, he leaned closer, showering her with kisses and affection. Frustrated, she finally turned to him and exclaimed, “Oh, come on! You’ve made me lose count!”
