I was just curious what everyone's opinion is regarding criminal history. Is it a partner's right to know? Is it a Master's or Mistress' right to know? A boyfriend's, girlfriend's? Husband's, wife's? Friend's?
I don't think it's anyone's right to know but I certainly believe I would want to disclose it to someone if I trusted them and wanted to pursue a close, intimate partnership.

To me, as stated above, it wouldn't really be anyone's "business" unless I sought a relationship with them and wanted to open up about that part of myself to them.

Totally depends on what the criminal history is. Not all crimes are violent. I do believe, however, that it would be more about a "trust" issue. As someone noted, I wouldn't want my partner to find it out via someone else as that would violate His trust in me for not having opened up about it to Him.

Absolutely, CuriousSoul. That is why I told my Master about my "criminal history." Without divulging too much personal information, I will say that I was previously married to a criminal. During that marriage, I became a junkie for several years. I was never convicted of any crime but, at one point, he became a parole violator and a fugitive and I went along for the ride, so to speak. After more than two years, we got into a situation where he was about to be caught. He escaped the situation and I did not. I was arrested and taken to a detention center where I ended up sitting for four months because I would not cooperate and help them in catching/prosecuting him. I had no criminal record and still don't. Yet, I spent months locked up. They were using me as a pawn to get to him and I would not assist them so I paid the price.
I finally got a hearing for a bail reduction and fortunately it was before a judge who highly valued education. As part of sentencing, he almost always made offenders get their GED if they didn't have a diploma. When he asked my education level and I told him I had two degrees, he was shocked. This impressed him, fortunately, and he reduced my bail significantly and I was able to get released. A couple months later, my husband got arrested in another state and his freedom came to an end. When Master and I met and became close, I told Him all the gory details of everything. I trusted Him and had nothing to hide or feel ashamed of. If I had not felt that trust and security, I wouldn't have poured out everything like I did. Some people can be horribly judgmental and without compassion and frankly, I don't owe anyone anything. They have no "right" to know intimate details until I feel they're trustworthy enough to know and to handle the knowledge accordingly. Master was and is but He was the first to be and now is the only One who matters. Now that He owns me, sure He has every right to know everything. But if I had not met Him and become His, I'm not sure how easily or quickly I would have divulged details of my past to someone else. It would all depend on their ability to handle it, I suppose.............slave luci
