I had been divorced for two years and met one loser after another and suddenly I met a man who finally treated my with respect and attention that I have never gotten before. Once things were going strong, he wanted to take it to another level of seriousness but before doing so he had to clear the air. About 10 years ago he was convicted of a sex crime. He has gone to jail, undergone psychotherapy and his therapist said that he is ready to date and has successfully dealt with the anger and other issues. All I know, is that I laugh with him, share with him, and enjoy our friendship, but am not sure if I will ever be able to get past his offense, so I am keeping my distance romantically and am dating other men again, but I keep in touch with him as he understands me like no other man. In order for me to accept him as a boyfriend, I would have to understand what made him go off the deep end like that and I do not think I can. What should I do?

welll thats quite interesting... i think maybe u should sit down and talk to him about it and let him kno how u feel bout it... and maybe later on if u think that maybe u can handle all of that then yes give it a chance because its not always u find someone u have so much fun with and u enjoy so much.

people should be given the chance to grow from their mistakes. he could have held this from you yet he chose to be honest and open. if all of us had a black or white attitude regarding what you shared with us with no redemption, what is the point of even going to church or believing in GOD? we would all be going straight to hell. ten years is a long time. he sought professional help and seems to have fought his demons. give him a chance-he is innocent until you prove him guilty. good luck.
