How Important Is His Past? by NightDoc: 1:38am On Aug 30, 2009
So I have been dating this guy for about 2months,
Things are wonderful between us, we really 'click',
I truly love him, and I can feel/see he loves me too

Problem: His past.
He has done some pretty bad things
Things that if i had known about in the beginning I wld
not have taken us this far. Some of the things are not
completely dealt with, he is still clearing off his record.
He wants me to stand by him while he does.

Questions: I appreciate his honesty. Does that absolve his crimes?
Should I judge him based on that?
If I was advising someone else, I'd say let go,
But this guy is all I have ever wanted, except for his luggage, which he does seem to be dealing with,

Am I being stupid if I still risk my heart on this guy?
Or am I being stupid if I let my soulmate go because I was judgmentaland self righteous??

Please Advise

It would help to know the kind of life he had lived. Did he commit crime? How serious?

Sounds to me like he's a changed man. You should probably stick with him. . . . unless his past is something u can't look past. undecided

Don't go fishing in the dark sea if you are not prepared to unravel its darkest secrets o, it might give you heart-attack.

Thumbs up @ kellorah. The past does usually define who someone is.

By the way, you won't know me, but long time he don tey wey you bring leg come naira.

Did you just call yourself an old fart. Quit being modest. Imagine pretty yellow paw-paw beyonce look-alike like yourself saying you be old fart?
Wetin we go call the other girls then undecided


@poster, I think it really depends. Are his crimes forgivable and can you quickly move past them?
This happens to be one of the reasons why I would prefer to know about the woman's past before we actually start dating; it can get very sketchy.

You DO remember me. grin grin grin grin grin grin

This is why people should be friends, get to know eachother a bit before dating. All that "we'll know eachother when we start dating" ish doesn't always help.

Would be interesting to know how long you've actually known him for (before u two got together).

You might wanna put urself in his shoes to see if he would still stay with u, considering ur past.
