I am sort of upset about that and jealous of his prior relationship. I feel like I don't want the first time I move in with someone to be the boring second time they've had someone live with them. He does sort of compare me to her occasionally, but I really don't have any long-term people to compare to him. So am I being silly and stupidly jealous here or could this be a problem were I to move in with him?

I should clarify, I was a virgin previously before I met him, only having seen other people for weeks or a month at longest.

If this bothers you enough, then hold out for a male virgin. There are plenty of male virgins holding out for a female one, it would be a nice switch to see a little of that energy coming from the other direction.

Firstly, you must both try not to compare each other to previous relationships. Eventually kills the relationship, eating away at each others insecurities. Secondly, you say you don't want this to be the "boring second time round" . . . clearly there is a reason he is not with the girl before and so this must be an exciting time for you both. If he geuinely wants you to move in then go for it...just try not to think of someone being there before, which i know is very hard, but it is a big sign that he is happy with you and he wants to live with you. Just make sure you are ready to move in with someone, it is a huge step. and make sure you're not moving away from everyone you know, you'll want to still see your friends. hope this has helped. xx
