Just ask yourself if you would be comfortable having her previous "encounters" standing in the front of the chapel at your wedding...
Ask yourself if you would like men to smirk and giggle whenever you walk down the street with her...
Her past DOES matter, the guys who think it doesn't are the guys who would only want sex from her, not an LTR, which it appears you want.
Obviously this bothers you. It bothers you for a reason. People's past actions DO count for something.
If a murderer stopped murdering today, would you just let them walk free?
I Know, I know, her sexual past is not murder, I am just making a point.
I do not know if she is a good woman who made mistakes, or a bad person at heart. She was an idiot to tell you about her sexual past. She must have been taking advice from OPRAH or some moronic womens' magazine which tells women to be honest in all things... foolish!!
There was no good reason to tell you about all this and now she has ruined your relationship. The cat is out of the bag and won't go back in. This will not have a good ending. Prepare yourself for it...
No amount of rationalizing will make you forget this... time to move on, as painful as it will be...
Man, these woman's magazines which tell women it is OK to be a slvt are really hurting a lot of people. Sorry, Penkitten... but it DOES matter.
