Boy Demands That His Girlfriend Needs To “Unlove” Her Past Boyfriends

What an awful request.

Some relationship requests cross a line so fast that the person hearing them is left wondering if they misread the whole situation. In this case, a woman says her boyfriend, Mark, told her she needed to “unlove” her exes before she could truly love him.

The demand came with a bigger claim, too, that her past feelings somehow made her current relationship less real. That left her dealing with a partner who seemed to want emotional erasure, not honesty.
