Yeah, the first girlfriend did not treat you right.

Personally I have developed tight pelvic floor muscles after abdominal surgery. Thing I learned it that if you do not use your (deep) abdominal muscles to keep you upright, you often compensate with the pelvic floor. And that is a very difficult pattern to break. What helps me most it to strengthen the deep abdominals for a stronger core (takes some of the work from the pelvic floor) and to stretch the hip flexors and rotations (laying down on the ground with the knees bent and the soles of your feet touching for the last one). This really deals with the whole area.

I also invested in a wider bicyle saddle and that helped a lot.

Not sure if this is the issue for OP, or if it’s one of the other causes, but I figured this might help some people here.
