A female United States age 36-40, *ove My Life writes:

My boyfriend is currently in prison. We've been together over 5 years and we have two beautiful children together. I really do love him a lot and I am sure he loves me too, but I just can’t get over the fact that he has put us in such a horrible situation. I don’t know how to forgive him.

I don’t know what to do because he also has a son that is just impossible to handle. Since his son lived with us all the problems started because he wanted me to do everything for him. I am happy now with my kids. It’s a struggle, but I love them and I have to be strong for them.

I know when he comes out he will want to bring his son back with us and I don’t know if I should just move on with my kids or give it a shot. I really need some advice. I was in the hospital twice because his son was driving me insane and I had a panic attack. My boyfriend and I have always been happy and we get along great. There is just so much tension when his son is around. I just feel my boyfriend does not want him around, but is just scared of what people think of that. He didn’t even know he had a son till he was 8 months old, he is 7 now. By the time he gets out, he will be 10.

I just don’t know if it would be worth the wait. What should I consider doing? Should I tell him how I feel? He wants us to get married, but I don’t know if I can

Dear *ove My Life- Life is not simple but it does not have to complicated. My vote is move on. #1 You are not married. #2 It does not appear that your boyfriend can pay child support or support you with no income being he is in prison. #3 You are young enough to start over and find a real man to take build a life with #4 His son has driven you crazy, seems like he is still driving you crazy and will continue to drive your crazy in the future #5 A lot of stuff happens in prison- your boyfriend will either screw up inside and get a longer sentence, reform and come out a better man at which that time he can try to win you back and prove he is a good father, or lastly come more bitter, more angry, and definitely less employable for being an ex con type/ felon. Cut your losses and move on. Life is short, he is in prison, not you.
