My partners vivid memories make me feel like I'm living in his past
My partner has a vivid memory. When he recounts past experiences he says they play out like a movie and he can see, feel, hear and smell everything in them. My memory is scrambled eggs at the best of time. Whereas whenever something occurs that reminds him of a past experience he travels back there in his mind. We recently spent a lot of time being very frank and hyper detailed about our past experiences, sexual too. The result is that I now feel like I am haunted by his exes. I can't shake this feeling. Bleugh. Not sure what my question is, just need to vent that I feel uneasy and threatened by the ghosts of girlfriends past, all younger, confident and more carefree than me.
