Is there a 'best before date' for women?

My girlfriend is only 23 and her "former life" is bad enough to make me think twice about dating her. I should have locked down a girl in high school...
I like Henry, but the flip side of this coin is that she is marrying your past as well.
Considering the kind of life I've led, I consider myself fortunate to have found somebody who is willing to disregard the things I've done in the past in order to be able to spend time in the present and future with the person I am now.
It's only right that I return the courtesy.
I'm not really talking about marriage, per se, but just a general perspective on personal history.
I think the presumption here is that the guy doesn't have the past she has.
In your case, that may be reversed. If so, you're a lucky man, and I think you already know that.
I was into a girl who had a lot of baggage and was hell bent on on accumulating more. She's might be a cool person now, but I wasn't sticking around to find out. I've seen enough personal destruction in my childhood to last a few lifetimes.
One of the toughest lessons I have had to learn is that you can't change someone. They have to change themselves. And that is hard to do.
I feel that I should lockdown a woman right now, in her early 20s, and keep her until I'm ready(if) to have some kids and family.
sure in theory, you are correct, but in practice you're probably making a commitment for anywhere from 5 to 15 years.
