[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in the age bracket where DCUM would tell me to lower my standards (or the softer version, “broaden your horizons”)

I’ve been going out with a guy who is handsome, gainfully employed with a few (legal!) entrepreneurial side hustles (though I would be the bread winner in the partnership, at least at first). He is fun and laid back. He did however just disclose to me that he has a record - one DUI and two nonviolent drug offenses. I’m of the mind that drugs should just be legal anyway and that while DUIs are bad, they are unfortunately common. That being said, I don’t know this guy well enough to know whether it’s a matter of reformed decisions and since having gotten his life in order, or if this is a huge red flag that he’s bad news. For a 34 year old, is this something I should just let slide?[/quote]

It would depend on how long ago and whether he still has any possible addiction or substance use disorder issues now.    I am impressed he told you.   That's a good sign.    [/quote]
