Hi there! Well, I have made the mistake quite a few times my self, getting involved intimately too soon. I have never had a problem keeping a man, but getting treated right, I have. I think it all goes by the way you start out the relationship. If you jump into bed, you didn't get to learn all about that person and why do they have to go any deeper into you as a person? Then us as women start getting attached and it's too late to turn back! Sometimes any way. Men want to be with a woman that is strong and has confidence and respect for themselves. I am being weak by letting my bf continue to hold his past relationship against me. I don't think it's wrong for me to feel like it's time for him to move on. But, I need to handle it in a sensitive way since he has been through a hard time. That is why I don't think it's a bad idea for me to tell him we both need a time-out to sit down and evaluate this realtionship. I know one thing for sure, if we break up, I am going to go slow the next time I start dating again!
