Its not stupid to leave someone because of their past. Would you stay with a child molester and give the excuse "well that was in the past!". Nope, you wouldn't. These feelings of yours are very valid and I don't think you can just throw the past away, no matter how minor it may seem, as what matters is how it affects us.
I pretty much agree with this. Being a step-parent is a serious responsibility, and some of us don't want that in our lives, even without the probable drama. I don't date anyone who has children or who emphasizes their career above relationships. By following this, I found someone I'm very compatible with, someone who puts me first and doesn't have a bumch of other commitments I'm not prepared to deal with.
