| just ask him, going behind his back is not going to improve the relationship |

| You can't. Courts impose fees to get those records. |

| You can look up some stuff online for free though. For example, if it was Montgomery County, you can search the Montgomery County Circuit Court case database. It will list just some basic facts including any or all restraining orders, or whether the court had to compel him to produce evidence, etc. I'm not a lawyer -- but I know this because my divorce record (filing dates, court dates, etc.) all show up there. It doesn't include details. |

| If you feel like something is off, why are you still dating him? |

| ^^Me again. If you suspect something is up, you need to either ask him directly or just move on. That's no way to start a relationship. |

I completely disagree. I think it's perfectly fine to do a little background check on a potential significant other.
Who knows what she suspects and why. Maybe she heard a rumor that will end up not being true. Or, maybe it will be true. Who knows. |

| I background check all my friends boyfriends. It has definitely led to some break ups. Thank god they did not waste their time on these guys. |

| It completely depends on the jurisdiction. In many places, you can access court documents online at no charge. Do a google search for the specific court. |

I can understand or at least empathize with the mood swings, the contradictory expectations ("I'm an independent woman I don't need a man for anything...hey...aren't you going to open the door for me?) and the dozens of other oddities and idiosyncrasies that make women seem frustrating as hell - but this crap...this insane insistence of women to play private investigator and do undercover detective work whenever they have concerns about a guy instead of just coming out and confronting him or expressing their apprehensions...
That crap is just perplexing. Don't get it at all. |

Some men can be pigs (although my DH is not). And, not all men tell the truth when asked. I have never done this, but I do not blame women for doing some research on potential mates. I also don’t blame men for doing it. |

Interesting. I'm a guy, and I have zero problem with it. We do background checks on our employees. Why not on people that will know us at our most vulnerable? |

| I don't see anything wrong with double-checking what you are told as a matter of course. But in this case, if you already suspect something is up and you don't think he'll tell you the truth, just leave. That's your gut trying to tell you something. |

You must have a lot of stuff to hide. Also, I don't see how one has anything to do with the other. |
