Dear LIB Readers: How much does the hubby really need to know?

From a LIB reader...
Is there any need to let your husband know how many men you had intimate relationships with before you two got married?
For me, I told my husband about the guys i dated in the past on a 'need to know' basis. If conversation geared towards that area or if he knew me when i was dating the guy, then i tell him. Aside that, i dont say anything.
A friend of mine who just had her traditional wedding last xmas was telling me that she and her hubby had a 'say it all' evening, where they discussed everything they had done in and out of relationships before they got married. even the relationships they have had after meeting but before getting married! What is the point really?
Wouldnt the man look at you as a whore (even if he doesnt say it) if you have had a lot of guys gone thru there? Could you put this out there let's see what LIBers think of it.
Please share your thoughts!

  1. Well if u know banging diff guys will make people think of u as a ho, then u shouldn't have done it. Same goes to the guys tooo! I used to think all men where womanizers until I met this 24yr old virgin, ok bottom line is that if ur no is high, then u give an estimate so as to avoid problems sha. That's wat I will do!

  2. My dear,,we all ve our past.wat matters s d future ahead of us.

  3. I really dnt see d reason why?

    ReplyDelete
  4. If ur no is more than five, omo give an estimate joor! Like if it's 10. I wouldn't say 10. I would just say about 5 or 6 guys. Sounds more bearable that way. Some guys never give u an exact no anyway. Because they lose count. So I'm not telling u everything I did in the past before we got together

  5. It is not all men dat are mature enfu to talk it when u tell dem,some will lafu about it while some will tak it to be one big issue.I dnt see anything wrong in it u can say it nd lafu about it,depends on ur guy if it will nt spoil things

  6. PLEASE GIRLS DON'T TELL ALL OOOOOO. I BEG YOU. I didn't tell my hubby all yet the only thing I told him he still holds against me... Mschewwwwwwwww.

  7. Old things have passed away! Unless its a permanent illness or condition, no need! Full disclosure has a way of playing on the subconscious... As far as whatever won't impact on ur present relationship, let sleeping dogs lie

  8. If my guy has high numbers I would think him a womanizer too. Thank God me I won't have any problem counting to my future husband. By Gods grace I hope I only get to rise one finger. Lol! I'm not a prude... I'm 24 and still a virgin because all my relationships rush the sex thing and I always cut them off with no! No dey rush me joor! It's gotta feel completely right and I wanna be guilt free before and after.

  9. It is a very wrong step. If he doesn't ask u, pls keep ur mouth shut. I told my bf about my past relationships and he has never stopped rubbing it on my face anytime we had an issue. I know we are compelled to do the innocent thingy; "just so u know, I dated this...did this.." but it doesn't pay off at the end of the day. Forget that ancient remark "don't worry baby, it's all in the past, I'm your present" they will still hint on it one way or the other and not in a polite manner. If he doesn't ask u, keep ur mouth shut, if he do ask u, don't tell it all. Capishe?

  10. Its so not a good idea to be honest...Guys are just not it. Even if they dont have any issues with your past, chances are that they will tell their friends who would now plant seeds of discord and distrust. Theres no need, abeg!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. Many men want to hear all the dirty little secrets that their women has but the truth is, we can't handle most of them. And like they say, what you don't know don't kill. I once dated a girl I really loved but she committed the error of telling me she had aborted thrice. I stopped seeing her a few months later and even though I didn't say so, that was the real reason. In my mind, I was like what if she can never have any more kids of her own

  14. Yeah it's ok to tell him, bcos it may not be nice if he should hear it elsewhere.. I personally told my fiance of my past relationship and he did same... If he thinks that i'm a whore then he is one too lolzz. But is all about the maturity

  15. To me it doesn't really matter, as far it is okay with you two. However, you can use the info agaianst each other. If you don't trust your spouse not to used the info as weapon against you, then make on a need to know basis alone.

  16. dts y its good to keep urslf as a woman in d 1st place,if sh has gone round den sh is really a whore.
    Back to the main issue u ave 2 knw ur partner 1st if he is sum1 dt cn tke ur past den u cn tell him all bt if nt, tell d important tins dt wont destroy ur marriage wen he hears 4rm 3rd party.

  17. Most Men admire confidence in women...if you cannot tell ur man everything then it means you see yourself as a whore and you are ashamed of your past.......personally for me marriage is about trust and undertanding ...if I am to marry i would tell my guy everything its either you accept the full me or not....what if you meet one of your ex, and your with him?....then arguments occur in your marriage.....anyways evryone has what wrks best fr them...

    ReplyDelete
  18. i decided to tell my husband the things i had done in the past and he had no problem whatsoever. BUT when we finally got married, most times we had misunderstandings, he would call me a prostitute! and all manner of names. even at that i still believe i did the right thing. no one has the right to judge anyone based on their past.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Abeg what he doesn't know won't hurt him. There is absolutely no need to spill. You should spend more of your energy trying to stay faithful in the marriage because when the chips are abit down and you both are constantly engaged in arguments, those old boyfriends always find a way to call you andtry to meet up with you. You are venerable at that point and should spend your energy being strong and saying MI

  20. What he doesn't knw won't kill him. Never imagine tht saying it all will make him love u or trust u more...infact, its quite the contrary. So ladies, please zip those lips. Nobody ask u!!!

    In my opinion i think the hubby needs to know enough to avert any future problems esp.those you know will hurt him badly. I am married i told my hubby all that he needs to know and left one little detail apart thou he knws about the guy...the rest wont hurt him.

  22. Of course he'll look at you like a whore

    Because that's what you are. It just depicts how willing you are to let anybody go through you. A shame really. Good thing is, you can't hide forever even if you lie at first:))

    For me, im no need to know jare, afterall, will he tell me his own?

    ReplyDelete
  25. whoever speaks first obviously would tell a lie and when the discussion gets heated the point of defense would be 'i just wanted to see how you would react' na so, please just enjoy your marriage and keep quiet about the other escapades........

    ReplyDelete
  26. Men do not need so much details about your past as much as they want you. Just dont lie about it!

    Especially if u knw he's ready to take you as a wife and he is not trying to sample round like some men do.
    Men are very jealous and so am surprised a man actually sat his woman down to ask her everything abt her past relationships outside theirs.

    Trust me he would swallow poison or probably hug d nearest transformer if he heard so much bad side of her.

  27. Hmmmmm u Berra shut it oh, I hav a friend who told her hubby all abt d guys who had passed thru her and till date whenever they quarrel he calls her a prostitute then anoder friend who I knw has had more men than Kim she didn't mention any thg to her hubby and in his eyes she's an angel in short 2 him he's d second man 2 ever hit her promise land cos she wasn't a virgin now so thr was only one man b4 him dat was when I made my decision 2 Berra shut my trap too when getting married. Dear Lib readers if u had d intention of ratting ursef out u Berra shut it.tansh u

  28. my own husband actually made me a promise that he would never use my past against me or judge me based on my past but now that we're finally married, he's a constant reminder of the mistakes i made in the past. i will still advise anyone going into marriage to tell their fiancé/fiancee the details of their past no matter how terrible it is. it is better they know before they make a commitment to you.

  29. wat was done in d past shuld stay in d past. cos if u decide to tell him evrything,it can count against u later in ur marriage.

  31. This is how it's done. Tell your husband how many men you have dated not how many you have slept with. That way your number's will reduce.

  32. My aunty lost her marriage cos of dat.. Past is past, and men can b awfully jealous. I told my fiancée I got only two guys in d past before I met and data it. Women fink like men and act like ladies.. Dose sort of finks r left where they should b.

  36. Unless asked, dont tell but once you've been asked, the truth is best. if its true love, the past wont matter.

    ReplyDelete
  37. i dont think it is necessary,let by gone, be by gone. when u let out such details , it gives room for suspicion, when something that relates to the past happens again.

  38. I fink its important. No man wants to hear no funny stories bou' his lady.so its best he knos it all. So no suprises in dt area. If he loves u, trust me nofin wd change.

  41. its better you tell your spouse everything before marriage, although it takes a lot of gusts but it helps the relationship and the foundation will be very strong. if your spouse tuly loves you he will appreciate your honesty and he will forever love you.

  43. Well its gud to tell ur boyfy al d relationships u hv had b4 u two strts datin b4 he turns husband. So what I'm sayin is dat dnt wait for "say it all"moments b4 u say sumtins or till hez nw ur husband,so if he won't date u he shud go cuz its ur past.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I feel honesty will forever be the best policy. But m'sister, if u had soooo many affairs, i'll advice u kip quiet n jst say 'i've dated some pple b4'. Men re smthn else smtims. Dey can sooo judge a woman ehhnn..... Use ur brains!

    ReplyDelete
  45. First, I am FIRST! Secondly, I don't see why you need a tell it session. It is as good as it is risky!

    If your husband isn't at all the jealous type like me, and you are SURE of it, you can tell but if you are not sure of what may come from there, keep ur 'lips'shut!

  46. For me, I dont really see any need to tell the hubby everything that happened in my past... I mean my past is past.

    But, even if i have to tell him something, then its gonna be the one's i think he should know. there's no need really telling the hubby the number of people you have been with.

No way...infact i won't giv her da priviledge 2 spew such shit.NONSENSE AND INGREDIENT.

  53. Hian!!!! You tell him 3, your first boyfriend, the one before him, and him.If he does not believe you, that is for his pocket. Unless there was photographic evidence or camera action - you dated without sex. The day he gets angry or insecure or jealous he will use it to demean you.

    Men can be callous - It's little things like this that chip away at the foundation of a marriage.

    Nobody needs to know body count. The most important thing is you are fluid bonded - BOTH STD FREE with bi-annual testing.

  54. I was a proper runs girl before I got married how would I tell my hubby I slept wit many men uncountable sef before I got married I only told him abt my last relationship before I met him n didn't tell him I had aborted before until when I was pregnant wit my daughter had my wedding in d states cos I was scared one of aristos will come n destroy it o or someone might tell my hubby abt my past.anyway all dat is past now as am born again but still can't bring myself to tell him abt my past don't see any reason to as it was before I met n married him.P.S he told me his ex gfriend has many abortions for him n she didn't tell him until after dey broke up anyways all is bygone now

    ReplyDelete
  55. If the girl is from my village, I demand to know the men she's been with.....If she's within my circle of friends around where I reside/work, I also demand to know who she's been with....It may sound stupid on my part,as you would say, that was in her past, but honestly,am not the kind of guy who would feel all good to know that some dude from my village had actually slept with my girl.Ego thing I suppose!That's why I'd date someone far away from where I come from, than someone from my area.

    Another reason why I would love to talk with my lady is to honestly know about her sexual history.It's important that I know how active her sex life is before committing so that I can work on myself to be a better lover if she's the kind that has a high sex libido.I have been a relationship where I couldn't match the lady's libido.....I was drained, and that affected my esteem, because I felt that she would never ever be satisfied with just one man.I just don't want to be with a lady that will be comparing me with her ex after I had tied the knots,wouldn't be able to communicate with me,but feels so cool to discuss our problems with her friends.

    My one cent, and am sticking by it because by communicating with her, we bond better and are able to help each other, which to me, is the whole essence of companionship in marriage.

  57. My sister, from experience, no need telling... Men r like babies, when they get angry, they will just squeal and tell it d way it is and ds could be so disturbing for d woman wishing she never said anytn... Imagine a woman telling her hubby how many abortions she's had only for tns to get hooked up in terms of childbearing, u can tell what some men can say in such situations... No matter, d height of d love, it's safe to keep certain sensitive issues to one' self...

Personally, i don't think it's necessary xcept our conversation gears towards that. its all in the past and its best to leave it that way. buh if my hubby wants us to bare it all out den he should not get worked up unnecessarily cos i'm not even interested in his past as long as he doesnt have a child,i'm ok. wat i dont know will never kill me so wats d point of delving into wat might cos me emotional and psychological pains? its just unecessary......

  66. personally i dont think there is any need to bring in too many details of ur past relationship into a new one.men are very funny peeps a guy friend once sed to me that its not like he wants to marry a virgin and all,he really loves his girlfriend wife to be but he just couldn't help but b jealous that she had been with other guys in d past.
    i also had dis friend who in a madness trance (as thats all i could term it) went and told her bf that she had cheated with about 3 oda guys while they were dating.obviously she thot she as coming clean and they wlda moved on but a guys mind would never work that way.
    i suggest d very necessary no details not that u shld lie but no details and if u think lying is essential u cld about numbers sha.but men never forget stuff like that

  73. No, no, no! It's not right telling one's husband your past in such a the-whole-truth manner. It'll definitely open a can of worms, especially for the man. Your man won't see you as being his ideal woman, knowing full well you've been 'banged' mercilessly.

  78. Its a good topic,its a guidance to the lifestyle young ladies of today should live,always think ahead of marriage and if it will sound right when you open your mouth to say 40 men have slept with you and you have had 10 abortions when indulging in excesses of today.Even if you do not tell him,he will surely get to find out about the sordid past one way or the other,so its best to come out clean,and those who are just growing up should ensure that at least you limit your sexual escapades.Women for a change should put themselves in a man shoes,if you know a girl who has lived a life of bed hopping will you recommend her to your brother,or cousin to wife.Enough said,keep your legs closed to avoid future awkward disclosure.

  84. So should a man marry a woman who has had more than 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 Lovers?

    Likewise, should a woman do same? How much is too much?

  89. As my mother advised me, if a man doesn't ask you anything about ur past relationship...SHUT UR MOUTH...if he does you say but be mindful, because most men cannot handle the truth not that they are better anyway.

    Firstly, u tell a man how many relationships you have had....

    Secondly, if he asks how many u have been with intimately then you know how to answer that...just be wise. How many men will tell you he has slept with 20 babes????

    Thirdly, no need to lie about too much just answer the best way you can.....and if it's meant to be it will be.

    Fourthly, ur past is ur past a man that is willingly to over look ur past for a better and brighter future then take him and run....

  90. Everybody should not tell, ladies keep Your prostitute history to yourself and guys please don't tell her about how many girls you paid for their abortion and also how you slept with all her friends.

    You will both eventually find God at old age and nothing else matters. That is the process nowadays. Do not spoil it.

  91. It depends on what u both want. My hubby didn't want to know, we weren't having sex before marriage. He told me his, and I dont even remember names! No point really in our case. Thankfully our church does HIV testing b4 marriage.

  92. It truly is a man's world in Naija o! See women dishing out advice as to what to tell and what not to all in the name of make us men no get HBP. My question to my fellow men that cry over how many men their gf or wife to be has slept with; all the one's you professed love to and shagged only to dump them for another woman; don't you think its the same way other guys would have done to your present gf or wife to be, and because of that they became single and met you. Or are us guys saying that our woman shouldn't meet anybody b4 us. Then my question again would be what about the ones you shagged and did not marry what should happen to them? For you Naija women, una dey fall my hand o, why are you feeling guilty about who you have slept with, unless na one night stand there is nothing to be ashamed of. Bf and gf all over the world dey nak everyday, you are not any different. Sex comes with relationships in most cases; hold your heads up and stop feeling sorry for yourselve's, if you show guilt then he will respond in that way, if you stand your ground and make sense no man will bully you into feeling like a whore. Me I don't get into any relationship if there will be no sex, how can I then turn around to judge another human being for having sex. I think Naija guys still live in the stone age, for some reason we think women don't get horny as guys do. We are all human for pete's sake!!!!!! Relationships must not lead to marraige; if we know this then we won't judge. So my dear women and gals, if your bf or fiancee or husband is man enough to ask then he should be man enough to take it, unfortunately us men are always crying over everything that has to do with the female anatomy, so my advice would be not to tell everything. Somethings are better kept to one's self. Deekay gburu gburu

  93. There's really no big deal in talking about ur past, no mata how dirty it may seem... If he loves u he would deal with it. Some men marry women who were once prostitutes and they know... Its worse if u lie and claim to be a saint who lost her virginity when she fell off a mango tree, if he finds out later, u r in soup... I told my BF all there is to me and trust me I don't regret it...

  95. Nawa oh...Some women have slept with 40 men???? Kilodeh? What are you looking for???? Na real wa oh. No judging but women and men should keep themselves. Dont just open your legs for any guy/girl u see...we can control our urges but instead we choose to allow them control us. I am 26 and I have never had sex with anyone because my personal philosphy is that I cannot share such an intimate moment with anyone who does not feel strongly about me and we women know, we have our intuition to guide us. We know when a guy is not that into us but for material things we spread our legs. This is not to say I havent done other things, I have kissed and smooched and given/received oral sex but my hymen is still intact. I am no saint for that but my advise is for us all especially the younger generation to take heed, a relationship should not just be about sex for Christ's sake. Thank you!

  97. I would say if he doesn't ask, then you don't av to spill it. Most guys use these things against their wives later when an argument comes up. Please readers, am curious, how do you know if a guy is a virgin?

  98. Yes ooo, old things done pass away; but the DENT will ever remain - at least we are humans, not divine.

  99. If you have been into a few relationships in the past..You won't find it difficult to talk abt it ..but then if you have been into numbers then that's when girls finds it difficult to talk . Guys knew about this .....so being dodgy about it will make some guys understand that u have had it big in the past....Think about this.

  100. I'm re-discussing dis topic wit my fiancee now. Cos we've gone tru dis b4. I'll say its a cool tin 2 do cos "Life itself is a risk" and d only tin we're avoiding is a break-up. But d issue is if d guy loves u so much, no mata wat d past looks like, he'll wont stop loving you.

  101. I don't understand why some men feel they deserve virgins or angels when they're not virgins themselves! If you ask me I'll tell you and if you don't like the answer then fuck off. Na wa for these men and their delicate egos...nonsense! Don't ask questions you don't really want honest answers to regardless of how dirty they might be.

  110. its a big mistake to tell guys the no of men u've been with ooh. personally i've nt had penetrative sex wiv any guy but dang, i've done the others... hymen still in place and wen my ex asked me how many guys ve kissed, i told him and believe me any little confrotation we have, he starts to count... now what if i had slept with these guys in question then i'm done for abi??? i'm not saying a word to any man again.... no kiss n tell.. keep ur past and i keep mine. so far you dont have STDS or a child, i guess we're good to go plus who's looking for a virgin guy.#shrugs... btw my ex was ibo... so if u're gonna spill dont make the mistake of spilling to an ibo man or u're done for.

  111. Linda my tak is that...
    when he ask yoyu the questions you tell him what he needs to know but pls be discreet on the details. Men are so insensitive, he culd use this against you in a way later on.. and trust me.. except if he is really Born Again as in Kasko type will he tell you every detail. how many guys will tell their woman they slept with a prostitute and had to pay someone to blowjob them? so seriously I counsell the ladies to be discreet when revealing. I do really bliv that people change regardless of the past, afterall some of us did realy bad and terible stuff and we do not do dat again now.

  113. Correct pple here. 3 is the magic number. Till marriage, the number will never be above 3. *wink*. Men are such babies. Never be fooled by 'it's all in the past'. Yimu. He will feel insecure about it and will eventually use it against u. The euphoria of a new relationship might make u want to spill, but i beg dont get carried away oo. I have a friend that was so in love, told her bobo about all are kpansh mates agianst my advice, now the bobo calls her an ashi everytime he sees her talking to a guy. That is my own one kobo.

  114. THink about it. If a man approached you for marriage and gave you a list of 60 people he has slept with. You think of 60 golf holes and what each hole contains by way of germs. Then by chance you live in a small big city and you know a few people on the list per small town gist. Maybe 2 of them grew thin and died. Maybe 1 of them has been battling cervical cancer. Maybe another has been barren. Emmmm....will you feel confident opening ya legs? Not that this is all connected to ya dude but it gets the mind working overtime. Keep all those closet stories in the closet. Now if there is one person that you dated seriously for a long period of time such that you share the same circle of friends and hubby will run into them sometime soon, yes please do not surprise him.

  120. U need to say all at least come clean and have PEACE of mind, cos if he stumbles on another info leading to ur numerous bf’s u didn’t tell him about. Will u quickly cover up and still tell him that that one doesn’t exist since u have sworn it was only d ones u mentioned to it.
    The Bible says that when we repent and turn away from our wickedness and sins, God forgives us and old things are passed away. If he cannot trust u or love after knowing what u were and what u are now if are sincere don’t go into that marriage.
    Women do know that some men do even have 1 or 2 issues out of wedlock and still accept to marry them it should be so too for women vice versa. Thank u

  121. I will not discus how many men i have dated with my husband. there is absolutely no need for that. the past should remain in the past. the only question i will answer is if he ask me what broke up my past relationship but i will not tell him who he is or his name. all these will definitely become a problem later. he should let the past stay in the past. i've had a friend that told me that her husband claimed she mentioned the name of the only boyfriend she had before he married her during lovemaking. she insisted that she did not and dont even mention his name during sex even when they were together so why should she mention the name when she is having sex with her husband. this is bcos she told him everything about the ex including his name. problem like this could have been avoided by letting
    the past be.
