I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 6 years now. He is the only partner I have ever had. I'm extremely happy with him but I'm curious as to whether or not it's OK to have never had previous relationships. I hear from all sorts of people that it's good to have gone through a few as they offer more experience for managing future problems or being able to "taste" different types until you find the one you truly like. I'm not planning on leaving him though.
Is it OK to have never had an ex?

Oh snap! I thought I was the only one that felt that way! :0 I've been in my first relationship for 3 years and things are serious between us and i'm not leaving, and I feel if I had more experience I would be a better girlfriend and know more on the managing part too! However, me thinking this way was effecting the relationship and it was no good for me to worry over something like that. And I want to share the same advice to not worry over it because it will effect your relation and create unnecessary stress. Look on the bright side, you have a healthy and loving relationship thats gonna continue to prosper, and you didn't have to put up with the BS from previous relationships lol :)
I think right off the top you need to stop listening to unsolicited advice from "friends."
Secondly, I think this whole thing depends on your age. If you are a teenager and this is your first relationship (congratulations!) then the odds are against you. There, indeed, are high school couples who marry and go the distance. It's just that they are a very small percentage because its very difficult and the majority of the relationships generally fall apart before the 10th wedding anniversary.
If you are older your chances of staying together increase.
Do you need prior relationships to make one work? No. You need age, life experience and maturity. Ignore them because you were quite content until those people put discontent in your head. Have a wonderful holiday and happy 2018!
Of course that's a great thing . you're probably a really nice and understanding individual (I'm not saying people who have ex's aren't nice or kindhearted) if you don't have at least 2 or 3 ex's by now you shouldn't worry about it as having many ex's or any ex's may not be a good thing l suspect that most people would agree with that
