I just started dating this girl and she’s amazing. Its my first relationship ever and its going great. Around 2-2.5 years ago I had feelings for my best friend and I had asked her out, she didn’t feel the same and we didnt really have a great connection like I have with my girlfriend now. I moved on and I have no feelings for her whatsoever. I still hangout with the same group of friends and the girl I asked out is there and my gf will meet them too. I dont want to hide anything from my girlfriend and I feel like I should tell her, I want to be honest with her but I’m not sure how she’ll take this. Do I need to bring this up?
TL;DR: had feelings for my best friend 2 years ago and I have moved on and dont have any feelings. I want to be honest with my girlfriend. Do I tell her about this?

Definitely tell her and be honest with her, and consider how you would want things to be if you were her.
Hearing from you now is way better than her hearing from someone else years down the road.
If you don’t tell her someone else eventually will. This will make her think you hid it because you still have feelings for your friend. She will lose trust in you. Telling her might be hard and it may cause her some insecurity when meeting your friends, however, I do believe it will be better long term.
