How Do I Deal With My Partner's Past?

Not a single pumpkin has been untouched by a squirrel in this neighborhood now. Trust yourself to be strong enough to find a way through it if it doesn't work but otherwise if it's working right now tell those alarm bells like yep there's no here there's no danger here I hear you? Sam says he would not want his current healthy partnership held to that person that I was and aren't I allowed to get better and do better with the person who was right for me  This is not excusing past behavior this is not condoning it but I'm just trying to be realistic that like I would not want my well first of all my wife knows how I acted in those past
