AITA for telling my boyfriend my body count after he kept asking, even though it ruined our relationship?

I (F22) have been dating my boyfriend (M26) for almost six months. He’s active duty Army, stationed near my hometown, and we met through mutual connections when he came out one weekend. Things moved fast (as they often do with military guys, not gonna lie), and by month two, we were already talking long-term even discussing what life would be like if we got married and moved together for his next duty station.

He’s a good guy respectful, driven, and has his life pretty together but he’s also very traditional. He’s said more than once that he wants “a good woman” and has made comments about how “girls these days don’t value themselves.” I usually let those remarks slide, but in the back of my head, I knew my past might not line up with his expectations.

Now, I’ve had my fun. Between college, casual flings, a few situationships, and just figuring myself out, I’ve slept with 43 people. I don’t regret it. I’ve always been safe, honest, and in control of my choices. My past shaped me, but it doesn’t define who I am today.

He started asking about my “number” a couple weeks ago. I avoided it at first said it wasn’t really important and that I’m not the same person I was a few years ago. But he kept pressing, saying things like, “As long as it’s not more than my platoon, we’re good,” or “You’re not one of those TikTok girls with 50 bodies, right?” I just laughed it off until he finally said, “Can you just be real with me? I want to know what kind of woman I’m building a life with.”

So I told him. Calmly, honestly. I said, “If you really want to know, it’s 43.”

He went completely silent. After about a minute he asked if I was joking. I said no. He got cold after that said he needed space, went back to base, and didn’t call for two days. When he finally did, he said he didn’t know if he could “respect me the same way,” and that he always imagined settling down with someone “more selective.”

I told him I was selective I made choices that were right for me at the time. I told him if he wanted a virgin, he should’ve said that on day one, instead of pretending he wanted honesty and maturity. He said I was being aggressive and “trying to justify a past I know he doesn’t agree with,” and now we’re not talking at all.

So… AITA for telling the truth?
