When is it appropriate, if ever, to talk about past relationships? Should the past just stay in the past? Or does knowing the good, bad and ugly about the last relationship, help one progress in the new relationship? Should the ex-file stay locked away in a dark desk drawer? Or do you like to poke around, ask questions and wonder about your lovers ex(s)? Do you, like Charlotte, believe that "you have to know where s/he has been, so you know what you're getting?" Or do you agree with Samantha that "as long as what you get doesn't itch," the history should not matter? Do you think that finding out how the last relationship ended, is telling of that relationship dynamic or how your relationship will turn out? Or should you skip all of the drama and just start fresh?
"He has a past, I have a past, do our pasts really have to have a present? At a certain age, we've all had relationships that are far from past perfect, but how much does that past relationship affect our dream of a future perfect. Can you get to a future if your past is present?"

If you are serious about moving on, do you just have to completely let go of the past?
