Yes, if they have been rehabilitated and are no longer a risk to me or others.
It’s important to understand the context of domestic violence in order for this question to have any meaning at all. Convicted felons can never legally possess a firearm so their criminal history would not be relevant when determining whether or not I would date them if they were released from prison after serving time for an assault charge. The only thing that matters is what happens when they leave jail – will their behavior continue? Can it worsen? Or has it improved enough so that rehabilitation has taken place and they now pose no threat? If so, then yes – dating someone who was convicted of domestic violence is still okay because there is hope for them to change.
Yes. I would date someone who was convicted of domestic violence as long as they have been rehabilitated and are no longer an abuser. I understand that this may not be an acceptable answer for some people, but it’s the honest truth for me. Every person deserves a second chance and everyone needs to do their part in order for us all to move forward together instead of staying stuck in the past where things went wrong. We can’t keep letting bad things happen over and over again because then we’ll never learn from them or change how we act towards others ever again – only make matters worse with every passing year until eventually society will break down completely due to lack of empathy among its population… But enough about my soapbox already!
