I posted this in OT, but thought it was appropriate to post here too
Hypothetical situations (I am getting ready to go out and this popped in my head, so I'm typing it as I think it
)
He was convicted of statutory rape? Murder? He worked as a stripper (see 3 hypos below)
Hypothetical 1: You meet a man. He's great in every way you want him to be
. Things are going well and you think he might be the one
One day, while spending time together, he tells you that when he was like 20 or 21 (let's say he's around 30-35+), he was dating a girl who ended up being underage and getting in trouble with the law for it (i.e. going to jail, probation, etc.).
Would your answer depend on whether he knew she was underage or not?
Hypothetical 2:Same situation as above, except instead of statutory rape, he tells you that when he was 16, he killed someone? (What made me think of this is after watching "The Wire." Those kids are around 15/16). Imagine if by God's grace, they were able to get out of that life, make something of themselves. Would you date a guy who had been in that life?
Would your answer depend on the circumstances? Would your answer depend on how long he was in that life or how many people he killed? Would your answer change if he went to jail or never got caught?
Hypothetical 3: Same man as in above 2 (i.e. you love him), but this time he tells you that when he was younger (somewhere between 15-19/20, remember he's now 30-35+) to make ends meet (let's say he had to support himself 100% b/c he didn't have parents), he worked as a stripper and occasionally had to perform sexual acts as a male prostitute (but was not "gay").
Would your answer depend on the circumstances?
I know some of these are out in left field, but I think any of these above are believable situations. Just wanting to know your thoughts as we know some people's pasts are not as bright as others!
