She’s been around the block

By VANESSA E CHAMBERS 

Men, would you think any less of a woman who has admitted to having multiple partners before she met you?

Peter:

It is hard not to judge a woman who has been with a lot of men.

Claine:

What someone did in their past is in their past. She would have done all this before she met me so I wouldn’t judge her. I’d just want to understand her and help her grow beyond her past.

Everton:

It depends on how invested I am in her. If we had just met and she told me, chances are I wouldn’t be with her. But if I really like her and see potential in her, then I would look beyond her past.

Joshua:

We have all done things that we are not proud of and that’s just life.  I wouldn’t hold it against her, as people change.

Nicolas:

If I’m with her now, that’s all I care about, the present.
