Boyfriend’s dad was jailed
I recently found out that my boyfriend’s dad was jailed for some time when he was a teenager. He hooked up with a bad crowd and they all ended up committing a gang murder. I was really shocked. Even though I know it was many years ago and his dad has completely changed his life — in fact, he’s a very successful businessman — part of me is afraid. Especially when I think about how I was envisioning marriage and a future with his son. What should I do? What would you do if you were in my shoes?
answer:
This is tricky. But let’s be sensible. What he was jailed for was awful. But he has been jailed, and the fact that he was released suggests that he has been rehabilitated. Perhaps he was young and being influenced badly and now he’s grown up. Also, remember that you are dating his son, not him. Which means that if you really love him, then you have to try to get over his father’s past. But if it scares you, (which is understandable), then remember that it’s your future and you have to do what is best for you. If the relationship is wonderful though, think very carefully before you make a decision.
