Very nice sentiment, in the abstract.

Pop quiz: who do you trust with your wallet?

(a) someone who regularly stole 20 years ago but claims not to have stolen since, or

(b) someone who's never stolen anything in their life?[/quote]
Your use of the word regularly disqualifies your example since, based on the limited evidence before us, it doesn't apply to OP's GF. Although it would me.

As to b, it's an extremely rare individual that hasn't taken something that doesn't belong to them.

And as to a, let's refer back to b first and then take into consideration the evidence within the present before summarily applying.

Back to how it applies to me. I shoplifted when I was younger. Wish I hadn't but I did and was so good at it I was never caught. Not even one time. But that didn't remove the fact that I was a thief. Anyone who knows me now will tell you that if given the wrong change at the checkout I will return it. Even to a point where I will drive back to the store if I didn't become aware of it until much later. I once had someone that left some money in my office. It had fallen to the floor in front of my desk. I didn't know them and they were supposed to return to complete the transaction but never did. Since all I had was their first name I didn't have a way to find them so I held that money for two years in the same envelop. I finally donated the money to a local animal rescue but kept the persons first name and the amount for years after that. Am I to be trusted now? Well, for some the answer would be no given my past even though it was decades ago but fortunately not everyone is so dogmatic in their judgment of others.[/quote]
Your reasoning is flawed.

1.  "Regularly" certainly does apply to OP's GF, since this was not a one-off incident, but rather an ongoing pattern of behavior (albeit with one person).  I deliberately included that word to distinguish this situation from the "I got drunk one night in Miami and...", which is a different situation.

2.  I congratulate you on the end of your shoplifting career, but it's essentially irrelevant.  The point of my example was simply to illustrate probabilities, NOT to imply that everyone who has sinned will necessarily re-offend.  [/quote]
You contradict yourself in line 2 since OP's GF isn't currently 'indulging' and a single relationship isn't a pattern but rather a period of time. And unless OP figures she will continue to engage in relationships that mirror that one from her past while she is with him it isn't relevant to the present or future.[/quote]
