Would you date someone with a bad history/emotional background?

I'm at the point where exploding would be a treat. Yea sure all of me becomes essential part of a giant rock floating in space but least as i would like to assume i become important and the line between progress and instability shatters. I don't mean to banter or complain, just a sense of digesting a new perspective is required. However, why?

*willingly bypasses that title* not intersting. My title *who i am* That's good enough for me. I hold no level in what titles are. There are different mental and emotional problems people do go through though, especially depending on what they lived through. Some scars needs acceptance and the will to work with them. I have met a few people who had terrible stuff happen to them that had caused some kind of problem, but they were also nice people. Honestly, i think it depends on the heart of the person.

Absolutely! I think having a sordid or challenging past makes people stronger and usually more interesting.

I think they hold onto and love other people more honestly, but that's my opinion as I'm dating someone like that or I could be biased as I am one of those people. xD

I'm fine with it but don't expect me to be nice about it.

I would still date someone even with a bad history/bad emotional background. It's better, in my opinion, to judge them by the content of their character than their past because all of us, to some degree, have situations in our own life that we have to deal with. Also, I've had my own fair share of problems to deal with as well and even today I haven't gotten over them.

I have a history of dating these sorts of people, because I tend to be a solid foundation for them and make them feel comfortable. Most notably the people I date tend to be very negative and depressed, but lean on me for support since I am a very grounded and happy go luckyky type. And I can use their views to try to make myself more sensitive about things I should be (I can be so optimistic and happy that it can make me seem "heartless" at times) I think this works well as long as their "background" (or mine) doesn't begin to pollute the relationship. It still has to be a give and take, you know? Striking a middle ground works best.

Doesn't matter what they've been through as long as they're sensible now.
