the first question is, "why am i so desperate that i am considering dating an ex-con?"

the next question is, "am i really this dumb?"

the final question is, "where's the exit?"

I had a therapeutic relationship with an ex-con.He had just been paroled after completion of a 15 years to life sentence for Murder.However he was the greatest therapist, which I have ever had (so far).

"There are three major questions to ask before letting a guy go from one ball and chain to another kind entirely."

What! No author for this sexist blurb? Even if its just to lead HuffPost readers to another site to read an article, its no excuse to perpetuate that whole "ball and chain" myth. And why would a "guy" freed from one (prison) want to get into another (a relationship)?
