No, I don't think so either....but in a way it does matter. When you meet and get to know someone there could be "red flags" from their past that may come through in the current relationship. I try not to hold things against others but if I find out something like a protection of abuse had been filed against them (called a PFA in pennsylvania basically a restraining order) then that is a major "red flag". I think I would end the relationship over that.

So I guess what I am trying to say is it all depends on what it is that is in their past. I think it will be different for each person and you have to take it on a case by case basis. But in general, I don't hold a persons past against them.
