Which of these things would cause you to divorce if your significant other told you:

- visited prostitutes
- worked as a stripper or prostitute
- had/has an STD
- has a criminal record and was in jail for embezzlement or stealing
- has unrevealed children from a prior partner (but not involved with the person)
- was married earlier but somehow lied and able to avoid it from you

interested in knowing how many can forgive and forget in a marriage some of these very serious things in the past? After all they say past is past right? Or is it??

Did he do these things while we were married or before I knew him?

Oh, I agree! But I was just not sure what exactly the OP is asking.

I guess what she is saying is "if you are married and THEN you find out about any of these things, would you divorce?" Is that how you read it?

I consider all of these things divorce-worthy except for the STD thing.

I assumed that it meant he kept all those things from me and only told me after we got married. If he hid an STD like HIV and we had unprotected sex then that would be grounds for a divorce. I really think this threads need to be clarified further by the OP.

Depends on the severity. But I don't enter a marriage lightly, I want to understand who I am going to marry. To understand their past to understand who they are today sort of thing.

Right! I was hoping she'd come back and clarify too.

For instance, if we'd been happily married 25 years and I knew him to be a truly good person, THEN found out he did time in jail for something non-violent when he was really young I would not think that something worth divorcing over.

Calling the OP, calling the OP!!

Did he do these things before I ever knew him and just never told me? Or did he do some of these things while we were married??
