If you are responsible for criminal behaviour your punishment is supposed to have a time limit, unless it’s a life sentence. I do know that forgiveness is essential in this life and that it can seem in short supply in these binary times. I just want to know that the investment I am making by being with him is not a terrible and obvious mistake. What he did was appalling, but I truly feel he is a better person now. I haven’t even spoken openly about dating him. I haven’t spoken to any of my family or friends about this, because it is a sensitive subject and I fear the criticism and misunderstanding that may occur.
He knows he made a terrible mistake and is in the process of trying to create a new and better life by enrolling in university. This is the only fault (albeit a big one) that I find in him. Am I making the wrong decision being with him? We are looking to move in together and to me he is a beautiful man with a heart of gold – kind and loving.
