Would you trust someone who had previously had a restraining order?

It happened 14 years ago. Physically violent to an ex partner - no prison sentence but a restraining order placed on him.

Seems to have turned his life around .

I am not dating this person. Just curious for the responses.

I wouldn't date someone knowing they had been violent to an ex partner. I don't care about second chances ....plenty of men around, no need to take the risk.

Why risk it? Plenty of men who have never been physically violent

Nope. I wouldn’t risk dating someone who has ever been physically violent to a partner, no matter how long ago it was.

My safety is important to me.
