When she was young, my girlfriend has had some "daddy issue", although she gets along with him now.

She was desperate for love and attention from guys, and casually slept around with many guys. Anyone who made her feel desired.

She's no longer her old self now though, and she told me that I'm the best partner she's ever been with, both in and out of bed, and that she truly loves me.

So yes, we are in love with each other, and she no longer behaves the way she used to do.
And I'm usually a very open minded guy, so if she responsibly enjoyed safe sex, I KNOW that there's nothing wrong with it, as long as she is loving and faithful with me now.

But somehow, I just can't think logically and rationally. I keep thinking her doing whatever she did with other guys, and it rips me apart.

Again, I KNOW past is past, and I should love her the way she is now, but I'm having some difficulty.

Any tips?

Been there, done that.
All I can say is try your best to repress it. All you really can do if you want to stay with her.

I think it's just how a lot of people are, truthfully.

Some men tend to not like the women they're with to be shared around, so knowing of a girls promiscuous past bothers a lot of them on some level.

my tip for you is get out of the relationship while you still can. It sounds like your gal is a slut, you've heard of the saying once a slut always a slut? What happens when she gets bored with you and finds a better man? Who's shoulder will you have to cry on? Nobody's. Dump the skank and find yourself a women deserving of your love jack. Cause Jill is all used up.

I don't think it's that easy, and I think it's a little insulting that you seem to be downplaying his emotions so much.

While, yes, this is a feeling that he should work past, it isn't as simple as "getting over it". These are real emotions and real feelings, and they aren't going to go away overnight.

Although I've never dealt with these emotions from your side of the coin (I've always been the slutty girlfriend), I feel like just taking time and pushing the emotions aside is really the only way to go. Dwelling on them won't help, so working on ignoring them, training your mind to stop focusing on those thoughts seems to be the best course of action. But it takes time and effort. If this is how you feel right now then that's ok. While you may not want to look at your girlfriend's past in this light, you can't beat yourself up over it either. Just accept it for what it is (both her past and your feelings) and move on.

If you don't get out of the past, it's gonna hold you back from the future and you don't want that. Get out of the past.

Think about it until you're immune to it. Or just refuse to think about it and make yourself do something else.

Grow up and get over it. Stop being so damn insecure and appreciate her for who she is. You've got a keeper so enjoy it.

You just have to ask yourself one question, do you trust her? if you dont trust her then there is no point in carrying on with the relationship, you will learn as you get older, that trust is the foundation of a relationship and is what holds it together.

It seems like you're trying to be logical and rational.
Its hard to picture your significant other being intimate with other people.
You have to get over it. Remind yourself that she is not that way anymore.
You have given her enough affection and attention that she does not feel like she needs to find that somewhere else.
You have made her feel better than all those guys put together.
She is loving and faithful and you are the only guy she is intimate with now.
She was safe so there are no consequences from her past actions.
If there are no consequences then its like the past never happened.
I would recommend thinking positively in circles until you are desensitized form the idea.
Good luck. Dont let the past ruin a loving relationship!
