i'm not saying you rag on her or bring up said past, but let's not all act like all that happened was she used to party.
the bigger problem is her reaction to serious shit. if anything serious happens to her, is her response to go on a binge and end up god knows where?
that isn't worrying about her past, that's worrying about her future.
**flip the script. OP gets blackout drunk and smacks up his bitch numerous times. but that was his past and let's all forgive him.
that's fine and dandy assuming the person isn't going to relapse. if so, then OP will be holding the bag next time some shit goes down.
***this isn't about her sleeping around in the past. read the fucking post. after drama in her life, she went on an epic bender which created even worse drama.
you are essentially dealing with a recovering alcoholic or drug user. it's all happy days until they relapse into hell. that's what the OP is living with and will need YEARS of stability before that thought exits his mind.

Well what would you do about it then? All you can do is support this person and hope that they don't "relapse". That's pretty much how you support recovering addicts isn't it? Of course it might bother you but what are you going to do about it? You either accept that it's going to be a rough ride and stay until the end or you get off and move on. Not saying you ignore it and pretend it didn't happen. you just deal with it.
All relationships require a leap of faith. This one is no different.
