my ex wife in a really vindictive manner.
But, I think that even those GFs I've left on good terms with, for the most part, won't keep it secret when it's over. Though they have not made a big case out of it.
If you don't want anyone to know, then sadly, you will have to lie.
But I think of it this way; it doesn't really matter what you have done in the past. Nobody cares if you WERE an alcoholic f.ex.
So does it really matter?
