I know how many he has been with, he has a guess of how many I have been with but not a specific number. I'd say we are pretty open about everything and know more details than a lot of couples.

We've exchanged numbers and know the amount of relationships each of us have been in vs. one night stands. Neither of our numbers were exponentially high, so I think that helped (at least me) be comfortable sharing it, and it was important for me to know. I just like to know what's come before, so to speak :-)

Yes...we both know each others numbers. For me this was a hard one. FI dated ALOT of women in his early 20's. I didnt. I had a handful of long relationships. So even though I was head over heels for him..his past was a hard thing to get through.
And...I know most of the "details". Which sucks. WHen we were moving into our house I found an old journal of his. Nosey me read it. I so wish I hadnt. I mean it was from like 2004-2008. Way before we even got together, but now those images are burned into my head.
We know numbers, but not all names. We went to HS together so I know mostly who he has dated and vice versa. But I don't need to know ALL the details. The past is the past and I'd rather keep it that way!
Yes we both know everything, though it took awhile for it to come out. My number is not exceptionally large, but larger than FI's for sure and there were some uncomfortable circumstances involved which lead to me not wanting to tell and him not wanting to hear.
In the end, it's good that we both know everything.
My number is pretty low, but he knew it before we started getting serious. He was a virgin (though he had done everything but intercourse), which I knew up front as well. Neither thing really mattered to either of us.

We know everything about each other - except for what we haven't cared enough about to ask about. Number of partners, how long we were together, where/when/how/with what accessories, blahblahblah. I'm naturally extremely curious, so I've asked FI some very specific questions, and he's always answered, even when he's a little embarrassed. I don't know that he wants that level of detail about me. But he was rather...erm....friendly for a while after he got back from Iraq, so I definitely don't feel any shame or embarrassment about sharing my experiences with him.

This is the exact same for us. I think I have always asked FI more questions then he asked me. The past is the past and all the matters now is what happened between us.
We were eachother's first and only I know some people think that's crazy, but I feel very lucky that we have only been down "that road" with eachother and I couldn't be happier or more satisfied! We will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary on Monday...Can't believe it!

Same with Chris and I. We've been together for 9 1/2 years and we were each others first and only.
