I (28M) with fiance (27F) about a month ago overheard her tell a friend her previous Ex was the best lover she ever had

I think if you had said what you nearly said, she would have said “oh nooooo, no you’re amazing and I love you!”

And hopefully she would have followed up with “I’m sorry, that must have hurt your feelings.”

Women will talk about this stuff though. A lot of guys who have had a few sexual partners will know that some experiences were...especially good, and perhaps the best. I used to see a guy when I was 21 and he was 19, he was just a brilliantly gifted lover. Terrible at a lot of other things, honestly more important and human things like making me feel happy and loved and safe just naturally...but I wouldn’t deny to my girlfriend, over coffee, in private, that Aaron was incredible in bed. I would feel AWFUL if my boyfriend or husband etc heard me say that. I’m sure she would feel really sorry that you heard it, because it would have hurt your feelings. I would however encourage you to bring it up with her, and see how fast she apologised and tries to make you feel good about yourself. You -should- feel perfect and great about yourself. So I’m really sorry that you heard it, but I hope you can empathise, eventually, that it’s pretty common, and something which might come up in a conversation between friends over coffee.
