I'm a 19-year-old male in a new relationship with a 19-year-old female, and I'm feeling quite confused.

A mutual friend introduced us, and we hit it off right away. We share many interests, enjoy each other's company, and feel at ease together. We've even exchanged "I love yous" already. Recently, we discussed our pasts. This is my first serious relationship, but she mentioned a one-year relationship with someone named “S” that ended due to conflicts. A friend also hinted that she had other past experiences, which she ultimately acknowledged, though she claimed they weren't serious. Now, I'm feeling a mix of jealousy and betrayal. I can't stop thinking about her past, and it's really bothering me. How can I get past this?

It's normal to feel that way! Focus on building trust and open communication. Talk to her!

It’s natural to feel uneasy about your partner’s past. Remember, her experiences shape who she is today, just as yours do. Instead of focusing on what was, try sharing your feelings with her. Openness can deepen your connection. Focus on creating your own memories together. Love blooms in the present!

At 19, it's easy to let insecurities creep in. Take a deep breath. Remember, her past doesn't define your connection—what you both share now is what matters. Talk to her about your feelings. Honesty can bring you closer. Focus on building new memories together. Love is a journey, and every step teaches you both.
