Were there things in your past that your DH had to 'get over' or things in DH's that you had to 'get over' in order for you to have a healthy relationship? If you care to elaborate, even better!!

Re: GTKY poll - Yours and your DH's past - Clicky!
I'll tell one if you will!!
I reserve the right to pick which story!
what counts as sordid?
I got so drunk one night in a club I threw up in the DJ booth (bad tina)
Special snowflake. I know DH had a life before I came around. He was 36 when we met so obviously he has things in his past. But I don't feel like I needed to get over them in any way. They are as much a part of who he is as everything else. If he didn't have any sort of weird stuff in his history I'd actually be concerned! I didn't want to marry the 40 year old virgin!
Likewise he knows I had a life before him. But in my case I'm pretty squeaky clean.
Ok, fine! I reserve the same right. Not something that DH had to really "get over", but a funny story, nonetheless.
I went to a party in college that somehow involved drinking bad wine from a Gatorade bottle. My boyfriend at the time was DDing. When we were done at said party I demanded he take me to Huddle House ... where I proceeded to play The Watermelon Crawl on the jukebox and dance on the table before our food came. And then we were told to leave.
The end!

If that counts, than I have a few more than I thought. I got drunk one night in Vienna so badly that I threw up all over the youth hostel room that I was staying in and missed a day trip to ... I forget where.... with a few friends. That was the day I learned the invaluable lesson of free-liquor + tequila = DANGER! As a new drinker I had a problem saying no to free shots. Lesson learned, however.
Sounds similar to how I became mortal enemies with Mr. Tom Collins.
I was going general, although I was thinking a tad worse than drinking stories. More like DH had a run in with the law or my casual sex existence and drug addiction before DH threw him for a loop. (these are examples, not necessarily anything that applies to me, my sponsors or underwriters)
DH and I were both pretty wild at young ages. I spent a lot of nights drinking with my boyfriend who was in college at the time and saying I was "studying all night" with my best friend. She'd say the same thing about me. We'll just say it led to some things that no 14 yr old girls should ever be doing!
DH was the only freshman to make varsity football so he hung out with a lot of seniors who thought it was funny to get him to try all kinds of different drugs and drink till he about died. This was also about the time his friends started going down the path to where they are now....rehab! So he wasn't doing the most honorable things either.
We joke that we don't know where we'd be without each other, but it's the truth, we'd probably both be dead. Yet somehow we saved each other, pushed each other through school. He started his business and pushed me to graduate and find a good job. We've now been together 11 years this April (married 4 years tomorrow!!!!) and while it's not what a lot of people expected out of us, it works for us. Everyone jokes that we act and have accomplished WAY more than most 40 yr olds, but I guess we just started a lot earlier, which is fine by me. I couldn't be happier with how everything has turned out...
Hmmmmm...
I think that like the PP, we both have pasts. Mine is more...varied...than his, but I'm not ashamed of any of it by any means. It took us a lot of discussion for him to come to terms with my sexuality, and for me to come to terms with us choosing monogamy, but I think there's always a process of figuring out any relationship.
If you want a drunken indiscretion story that ends with "and that is why flaming shots are always bad," though, I can tell that one.

I won't say that I'm adverse to such stories....
I quite enjoy such stories.
Similar to this. I was 16, and he was 15.
Tales of the Wife
well, I'm DH's one and only. but he kinda had to get over my past before then.
and if we're going to be telling drunk stories, if anyone tells you i pee'd on a tractor trailer tire/house plant/room mate's chair while drunk...they'd be lying
college+drinking+frat party+low self esteem= ???
You do the math...I'll let you use your imagination. I didn't go too wild, but definitly some instances I'm not proud of. DH knows about it, and he had skeletons in his own closet as well.
