Op here. I agree to an extent but not with this guy. As I said, I date a good guy who was an attorney. He got an DUI at 18 but never got in trouble with the law after that. That's a mistake in his past that I can look past because he learned from his mistakes. I cant and won't allow myself to get involved with a man who spent his 20's in and out of trouble with the law.

I texted him back when I woke up ( 2 hour time difference) and he said he would tell me why later when he had a chance to call. Sometimes a DUI will be published in the news, and that's where I found his long list or arrest records.
Turns out he was not arrested for a DUI. I made an assumption based on his past history. It was something really stupid and minor that he was arrested for ( jaywalking). Apparently he ended up with a citation instead of actually getting arrested. He admitted his past and how he had to serve jail time for the drugs. I told him I wasn't interested and he actually got mad and told me to delete his number. We are done!

I also have a record (misdemeanor and traffic, no felony charges) and brought it up in general, but she didn't ask about it in detail. Why would you not give the guy the benefit of the doubt, like I am with my gf? Everyone makes mistakes and its not for us to judge that person.

I actually work in a law enforcement field but I understand (and know) many people who have managed to successfully conquer their demons. Nobody is perfect and if he has his life together and is a successful, contributing member of society now, I don't necessarily think he should be punished for the rest of his life. I certainly wouldn't want everyone in my life holding my past sins against me forever, although nothing I've done is criminal in nature, people do grow and change. Every situation is different.
I'm certain I'm in the minority and a lot of the upper class, snobby, "I'm so perfect" DCUM crowd that lives in a bubble will flame me and disagree.
