He served A YEAR.

That's far from petty.

I'm betting he's sanitized what he's told you about too.

With everything that is happening regarding your boyfriend, perhaps God is telling you that he is not the one for you.

God could very well be telling this guy to east and you to go west. He could very well not want you to go east as well.

I would follow what God tells you, not what your boyfriend tells you.

Yes I have prayed about it and I feel that everyone has a past. You never know why God sends people in our lives maybe I am a guidance to pull him closer to the word of God

I was about to spend that long in the county jail for a speeding ticket, but had to go on probation for it. This is the state of Georgia.

Okay before we get too far down that road, just stop trying to explain what a great guy he is here.

You posted about telling your parents. The best thing to do is NOT what you have done here because there is no justification, and the more you try to defend him, the more entrenched you become in the rescuer/enabler role.

I am a black woman and he is a white man and we live in the south. A lot of times when I tell people about this situation they think that I am lying because they don't expect a white guy to have any trouble. I find that offensive

Why is that even relevant??

I'm from Tennessee, and I know for a fact that rednecks with criminal backgrounds are not rare in the south.

Good luck. Hopefully you'll do right by your parents.

What is the date of that stoppage?

If it isn't "today", your boundary is pretty much meaningless.
