>>20626815I think it partially comes down to what individual men are willing and able to tolerate. I'm not saying nonvirgins are totally unworthy or undeserving of love and forgiveness, and if a man falls in love with a nonvirgin woman and is able to get over whatever past she may have, I genuinely wish them both well. I just know that I personally can't bear the thought of the woman I've sworn eternal love and loyalty to having been known in the most intimate and vulnerable ways by other men. I understand nobody is perfect, and I am FAR from perfect, but I would undoubtedly hold some resentment over this if I knew my wife wasn't a virgin, and I wouldn't want to drag her down either. I'll admit there's some degree of ego involved on my part, but I don't think that's necessarily 100% a bad thing. I just want our love to be something special that only we share and grow/learn in together, and ideally she'd feel the same about me
