<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

I was sure I was doing the right thing, until I joined this sub. 

**Background**: my boyfriend "Drew" and I are a couple for over a year. Before that, we were friends with benefits (he was my first) for half a year, but I caught the feels and eventually he did too.

My friend "James" is a ladies man. We've never had any feelings for each other, but before I became friends with benefits with Drew, I used to fool around with James. James and Drew met and became good friends when Drew and I were friends with benefits. 

**The problem**: I've never told Drew that James and I used to fool around (no sex, more kissing and feeling each other up). I always thought I did the right thing, because I stopped doing things with James after I met and became friends with benefits with Drew, and telling him about James would only upset Drew. James doesn't want to tell him either, because even though we stopped after I started hooking up with Drew, he doesn't want to be the guy who used to fool around with his good friend's girlfriend(, and he doesn't want him to get hurt of course). 

The reason I'm posting this is because I see a lot of people on here saying that it's common curtesy to tell your SO if you've had a "past" with their friends. Should I still tell him, after 1 year of being together? If so, please explain why, because I can't convince myself why it would do any good. Thank you.
