I met someone a month ago, have had a few great dates. He told me that he was arrested for drugs 4 years ago, had a violation placed on his probation, and just recently was not arrested but taken to court for domestic violence. He denies all and seemed truthful. He was just sentenced to 6 months in jail. What would you do?

I wouldn't date him. But Id be his friend until he could show me he's not a criminal like his record says.

That really depends... when is he going to jail? It seems a little drastic that you date a guy for a month and then its like, bye hun see you in half a year...

What would worry me is the domestic violence charge, what, why, when, how..? And denying it.. well, there must be something to it... 6 months!

the drug possession was 4yrs ago... do you know how much? (like was he in possession of a usage dose or two or was he selling? And what kind of drugs)

And of course I don't know him and his life or what he's like, so you'll just have to go with your gut on this one. Are you willing to sit around and wait for someone for 6months, either way? I wouldn't be.

If I were you I guess I would tell him that, I have a life and I need to live it. You're going a way for half a year... and We can remain friends for now... and when you get out, well maybe we can date... maybe. And the reason for this: Domestic violence. (and I don't know what kind, or how old he is.. etc.) But seeing as you haven't known him that long... well its up to you in the end...

Of course he didn't do it. Don't you know that the prison system is just over-flowing with innocent people?

Put a whole lot of gone between yourself and this guy.

I would leave him alone and it would save you a lot of drama and pain in the long run. Think about and his record, do you really want a relationship with someone like this? His record speaks volume about him and like Roxy I am concern about the domestic volience charge and of course your going hear half of a story about that issue from him.
