"Loose lips sink ships"
Alright beloved, new scenario:
It's "couple's night" at Dave and Busters for you and your friends. One of your notoriously single friends has been ranting and raving lately about this great person they've been seeing. Mind you, this is the same buddy who traditionally has nightmarish encounters as it applies to dating. Everyone in your circle of friends is filled with anticipatory tingles about meeting this potential new fixture to the couple's night crew.
Eventually, just as expected the happy couple enters the restaurant with huge matching smiles on their faces. As introductions are handed out, you are overcome with a sudden knot in your throat. Much to your chagrin, your friend just rolled up on the scene with your former "booty call" lover from college. None of your other friends are aware that the two of you know one another through previous encounters. During the course of the evening, your former co-conspirator pulls you up and whispers to you "I promise not to say anything, if you don't say anything". Do you enlighten your homie about your former relationship with their new sweetheart or do you keep it moving and let bygones stay bygones? What is your logic? Talk to your boy, I'm all ears...

Eh, leave it be. No harm, no foul...as long as you don't start up again. ;) And not even then, maybe... :) And besides, sounds like it won't last long anyway... :)
Unfortunately I've been in this situation and I didn't need to be pulled to the side and asked not say anything. I knew that was the thing to do. The past is the past if you've both moved on I don't see why you would need to tell your boy that his girl used to be your bootycall..That was college..I'm sure more guys have girls who used to be "someone's" booty call at some point or another..It happens...Fella's its a damn good chance your girl wasn't a virgin when you met her soooooooooooo....do the math...
and again let the past be the past..
cuz
The past is the past.
This is likely more common than most people think especially with larger circles. I have to agree, the past is the past. There's really no need to go into details of the past given the fact that it doesn't seem like there was a relationship established. I think it would be a different story if say this was "the college sweetheart". However, boundaries would need to be set.
leave the past in the past. As mentioned by another reader. You can bet that your girl/wife/boyfriend/husband/or shorty on the side once belonged to someone else. If you roll in the same circles it's only a matter of time before you encounter this situation, and in todays world there may be a couple of kids involved as well.
So don't caught up in the hype. Everyone has a history, with someone else. No need to speak it up.
