Strugging with my fiance's past sex life.. what do I do?

...See more Hello everyone and let me thank you right off the bat for taking the time to working with me. Short bio: 42/m .. only been in 1 relationship my entire life.. saved myself for marriage.. was married 14 years and now divorced. My ex-wife raped me a couple weeks into the relationship and I felt obligated to stay with her and so married her until several years ago when she divorced me. I've never been on a date (not even with my ex.. long story) and never had any other sexual partners. The Issue I'm struggling with: I met a new woman, we're engaged now, and prior to dating her (through work) she mentioned a lot about her former partners through natural conversation. I'm struggling with the fact that she has had so many and doesn't seem bothered by it. Now if she ever brings up an ex I internally get super angry and disgusted with her (though I don't show it.. but did ask her to not talk about them as it upsets me and so now she is careful about it). I love her and I feel like her past shouldn't bother me.. but it does. I won't leave her over it because I would feel this way about any woman that came into my life and it's something I need to process and deal with. There is more information of course to be provided.. but I wanted to start with a quick intro about my issue and am happy to fill in any gaps and answer questions. The Problem: How can I stop thinking about her being with exes, or worrying that she's comparing me to them, and get over these thoughts and just let her past be? Thanks everyone and I look forward to working with you all.
