can you love someone who is an ex-convict?

i believe that when you love someone, it shouldnt be because of his past that stops the relationship...you should love his everything, including his past.

Frankly, I think I would not be able to. May be if he is reformed but it also depends on the crimes he had commited. I would not be able to love a murderer or a rapist ever. May be a small time thief or someone convicted of traffic light jumping, still It would be hard for me to love him. I think I wont be able to trust such person and love needs trust. I have often had people who had cases like murder and robbery trials going on but they just worked as oderly at my place and I used to leave my house on them but loving and sharing your life is a different thing altogether.

hmmm... i think it depends on situation and his behaviour....

For me it would depend on what crime they had commited. I do know a few people who have committed a crime, not violent, and they have changed their ways. If I loved the person, I would stand by them and have to go against my family if they didn't agree. Then again I am a mother,so I don't know how I would feel if my daughter did this, although she does hang around with a few dodgy people.
