very different relationship histories

LegacyUser · 2012-08-29 17:36:46

I have had six relationships in my life (I'm 28), lasting from 6 months to four years. All have ended fairly well, and with most I am still friendly with. Basically they ended because of things like boredom/travel on either of our parts/different life paths/different priorities...that sort of thing. I do feel like I loved…

I have had six relationships in my life (I'm 28), lasting from 6 months to four years. All have ended fairly well, and with most I am still friendly with. Basically they ended because of things like boredom/travel on either of our parts/different life paths/different priorities...that sort of thing. I do feel like I loved all of them, although in different ways. Now I've met someone I'm crazy about...and it feels totally different, like it's really going somewhere. With my ex's it was like I loved them but I wanted to change something about them, or something wasnt right...with this guy its like he's perfect.
Problem is, he's never loved anyone properly before (or so he says!) or been in a serious relationship. He's just had loads of short-term flings. I almost feel like a freak because I've actually loved six people before him (although I haven't said this of course). I've been in a four year relationship with someone and lived with them...my boyfriend has only ever had holiday romances and one-night stands.
Has anyone out there had a similar situation? Like does anyone have a totally different relationship/sex past than their other half?
I'd be interested to hear people's experiences of serial monogomy? Is it normal to love more than one person in your life?
