Everyone has a past. It could be a good, happy one. It could be a horrible one with a deranged ex and toxic relationship. It is just something everyone has and something we can't change because it is out of our control. 

However, no matter how hard it is, we have to learn to accept the past of the people we love, especially our significant other. 

There's no point getting upset and sensitive that they had a life before you. This happens especially when you get into a relationship quite late in life, which means you and the person you're currently dating would have dated a few people before.

So what if they've dated a few people before you? So what if they've loved others before you? So what if they bring you to the places they used to visit with their exes?

What matters most is the present. That the two of you are deeply in love with each other and you're over your exes. What's most important is that we lower our pride and learn to accept their past and not let it affect our relationships.

It's easier said than done. But it can be done if we are mature enough and love our partner.
