DEAR ABBY: My fiancee has been married twice and insists on maintaining contact with four prior sexual partners (other than husbands). Most of the contact is by Facebook, instant message and cellphone. But one former partner is a high school classmate she sees every year at class "get-togethers."

I think what she's doing is inappropriate and will certainly be so after we are married. She insists they are just "friends" and I am being immature and "untrusting." She's adamant that she is unwilling to cease contact with these former sexual partners (now friends) under any circumstances. What's a guy to do? -- CROWDED IN FLORIDA


DEAR CROWDED: A "guy" either accepts what his fiancee is telling him -- that these old flames are just friends now -- or he terminates the engagement and starts searching for a woman he believes he CAN trust.

My dad tells the story of when he was 22 and dating three young women who were sisters; one day he took one of the sisters out in the afternoon, brought her home, and picked up another sister to go out in the evening. No one thought it was odd.

I've also heard a story from a college friend about two groups of girls from difference cultures in her high school in the 1980s -- Group A thought that Group B was promiscuous because they had sex with their boyfriends, and Group B thought that Group A was promiscuous because they dated several boys at once instead of going steady with one boy.
