If you actively try to ignore your partner past, you basically deniying possibility to understand them deeply. You obviously should not bring up that stuff by yourself about you previous experience all the time and should never compare your current partner with previous ones outloud. But it really helps if you know general story of eachothers past live and where you came from. So there is no harm in asking about that. It helps to build strong relationship with deep emotional connection.
