[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am madly in love with my BF. He treats me well, just like a woman should be treated. Yes guys, he even opens up doors for me and all that. He is a great listener and very supportive of my needs, etc.

The problem is that EVERYONE I know thinks[b] he is a loser [/b]

[b]he has 2 felonies on his record [/b]plus [b]his father has a restraining order on him[/b] which prevents him from being even considered for work.  He had his parental rights terminated a few yrs back due to his excessive jail time and can no longer see his three kids.  He has been out for about 2.5 yrs and is slowly getting his life back together.
He really wants to get a job so he can support himself and hopefully get his parental rights reinstated again.

I know he has a tough road ahead, but [b]I really want to help him[/b] reclaim his life again.
[b]Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?[/b].  [/quote]

Okay, let's review! You think everyone deserves a second chance. Okay, that's fair. Let's see what happened with your boyfriend. He was found GUILTY of two felonies. Someone took out a restraining order on him. Someone who knew him better than you, for a longer period of time than you. Honey, he GOT a second chance. Nobody goes from zero to two felonies without something in between. There WAS a second chance, and he blew that.

Let me ask you this: you want to help him reclaim his life. How do you plan to do that? He seems to need a job and a place to live. Are you going to let him move in with you, and open your own business and then hire him full-time? Otherwise, how do you propose that you'll get him a job?

Now you might want to tell me "Hey, everyone makes mistakes; nobody's perfect!" to which I would say you are right. But none of my mistakes result in someone taking out a restraining order against me. Or me being convicted of two felonies. Or my parental rights being taken away. My mistakes are that I forget to buy toilet paper and have to go back to the store twice in one day. Or that I accidentally step on my dog's paw when she's underfoot. He did not have a little whoopsie here. He made clear and concise decisions to break the law in a very serious way. You understand a felony is not shoplifting a pack of gum when you're 12, right? It's not stealing your dad's car and then getting in a car accident that's your fault when you're 16. A felony is a VERY big deal, and he has two of them. [/quote]
