I don't know if he means that she shouldn't be jealous of his past or if it's the other way around. I've never been jealous of a girl's past. I've always seen the past as just that, the past. I've never been jealous of a guy that's with a girl that I want for that matter. I don't like having to make up for the mistakes that other guys have made, but that's not jealousy. That's just part of earning trust.

I've been unfortunate enough to make some of those mistakes myself. I've even directly lied to a girl as well and lied by omission in order to try to make her jealous. I've learned from my errors though, and those things only happened once. I wish I knew then what I know now, but the past can't be changed. The experience was beautiful though, and I will never forget that part of my life. I've tried.

I know now that those memories never go away, nor do I want them to. The thing is, I hope that I don't unintentionally make another woman jealous now that I've seen what's wrong and right and more importantly, now that I've already loved.
