"How can I make this sound wistful and arty" thinks a man with a panicked look on his face and a list of DV charges as long as my pandemic hair.
[–]werker115FDS Newbie60 points61 points62 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Haha I dated a guy with 3 different DV charges with 2 different victims, and good old public records possibly saved me from being the third.

I think my 44yr old ex took this route with his 25 yr old girlfriend. So I told her everything. She's still there though.... so maybe she agrees with this.

Ooof that was the exact age and gap of my crazy fucking abusive narc ex but I got out. Hope your friend can do the same.

Reaching out to the current girlfriend never goes well in my experience. I wish women listened to each other more. If any woman who had experience with a man I’m dating wanted to talk to me, I’d be all ears.

That’s why they target early twenties. They don’t know better yet

True, but in my case the current girlfriend was in her 30’s. I was in my early 20’s. I told her he had unprotected sex with me for MONTHS the previous year, while he was seeing her. She didn’t care. I guess that was before they were “exclusive.”

Oh lord...

I've got 3 kids with him so I'm a little more invested in who he brings into their relationships too. Plus I'm seeing his cycle of abuse all over again. I chose to tell her what I wish I'd known. It's up to her what she does with it. The things she didn't know about his history in general shocked me, but they shouldn't have.

They’re praying you don’t find out their history of cheating, abuse and their side family 🙄

I learned this lesson the hard way. Don't let a man be vague about the past, especially since it affects the present. You need to know.
[–]saragc92FDS Newbie51 points52 points53 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Yes and No, you definitely want to find out if the guy has kids or a secret baby momma, I just recently started dating again and the amount of BS some ppl give out just to get laid is immense.

Or if he is a criminal. Cause I sure as hell wouldn't date a criminal!

Hell to the no. Dig as deep as you can.
If you were buying a house you’d inspect every crack and corner—same should apply to a man.

Exactly!

Authored by an abuser who goes to prostitutes...

Past gives the blueprints to what creates that person. Always dig. Don’t be afraid to ask. When you ask have insane eye contact, that’s how you can tell the liars.
You think people would forgive a German Nazi all because it was in his past? Would you forgive a man with an assult charge? Does he have a cheating past/drug past- he will most likely do it again. Has he used hookers? He will again.
Don’t be afraid to snoop when needed to get proof but listen to your gut, it’s almost always right. Women’s intuition is a thing for a reason.

Ah yes, this sounds like a man who has no skeletons in his closet AT ALL.

The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

Past behavior is the best prediction of future behavior. And yes, once a cheater always a cheater.

I wonder if this is how they approach job interviews/ background checks too.

Said Bluebeard. This is not a new game.

Oh yeah if he has a murderous past I should just let it go. People change! 🙄
[–]Mella_20FDS Newbie5 points6 points7 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Nah your criminal record is still important to me. In the past my ass.

Oh hell no. Go through everything.

Oh the treasure trove I dug up when he went off the deep end, finally left my house for good and left his gmail and Reddit accounts logged in on my personal computer. Yeah, no. If they tell you they went out of their way to try and wipe themselves off the internet and they have 100 excuses for not having any online presence yet have a bunch of burner emails, it’s likely cause they’ve got something to bury.

There is a reason my dog makes new people go through a very long vetting process lol. I’m going to be more like my dog!
