He was cutting the honey with purloined maple syrup and selling it as pure. They tell me it was delicious. |
| I could overlook one DUI or one non-violent drug offense if it occurred a long time ago and he clearly didn’t have a drug or alcohol problem. Someone who has three convictions is a hard NO. |
| The criminal record combined with the fact that you will be the breadwinner would be a dealbreaker for me. Does he still have substance abuse issues? |
This. |
Who are you? You are not PP. I am PP. The issue with the beekeeping equipment and honey was to do with an honest desire to create edible public sculptures. Unfortunately it was not able to proceed. |
The number (not amount) of women who don't recognize life isn't black and white is disheartening. |
I feel like the mail/bee thing is from a show or movie. Always Sunny? Arrested Development? |
| I would want to know if the arrests were a sign of an ongoing addiction or mental health problem. I have a friend who married a guy with a record (for assault in bar type fights). Turns out he also had an undiagnosed untreated serious mental health condition that only came out when he had a psychotic break after their daughter was born and had to be forcibly committed by the police. Obviously not everyone with a record has this type of underlying condition, but I would want to know more about what motivated the crimes and what he has done to address those issues. |
No, wait. New Girl? |

Tough call. I guess it'd depend on what others have said - age, circumstances, has he changed? Plus, do you want kids (I would not with him). Maybe just be a couple and not marry? I guess it depends on your goals.
I have many nice male (married)successful friends who smoke pot and may have had a dui in their youth. Good husbands, nice dads, now bread winners. I guess I'd take the overall picture into account here. What's his education, field, and current lifestyle? |
| When did these things happen? |
| When did he get them? If this is something he had 20 years ago, I’d let be go. Last year? Drop him. |
| If they occured 20 years ago sure, otherwise the duis especially are bothersome. |
It's black and white when choosing a life partner. That you are more picky with language used on a forum then the person you select as a spouse or father if your kids is sad. Having a man ( any man) just to say you have one is a pathetic way to live. |
| I dated a guy who had a couple DUIs a long time ago. Turns out he was an alcoholic so yiu need more info. |
