My Boyfriend Didn’t Tell Me About His Criminal Record

I’m 33 and I’ve been dating my 41 year old boyfriend for 5 yrs. We have a 3 year old daughter together. I broke up with him about 3 months ago after being exhausted with the constant strife, driving him around for 4 yrs, and no progress in our relationship.

A few months before our break-up, I was compelled to do a background check after finding out he hid his facebook from me.

I discovered the following:4 felonies due to irresponsibility and lack of wisdom,revoked license as a habitual traffic offender, unpaid tickets, back child support for kids he never mentioned and claims not to be his, multiple evictions, and a couple of domestic violence cases.

He’s also a registered sex offender, which he told me the girl lied about her age, but never told me he was found guilty and registered.

He also says he doesn’t have to check in because his lawyer is taking care of that.

On the contrary, he’s really a good man in the sense of he goes to church, doesn’t smoke, drink, party, hit me, great father, helps me financially best he can, family man, loyal, faithful, and really does love the Lord.

I love him very much and I believe he loves me too. He says he didn’t tell me because he was afraid of losing me. He wants me back badly and wants to marry me.

I would love to be with him, but I’m not sure of the quality of life we will have, especially with his record and these issues being unresolved. I still don’t know what to believe because what he tells me doesn’t add up.

My family and best friend says to run because he deceived me and we have no future with such a bad record. He says if I really love him that I will be with him forever and help him resolve them.

Should I stay away or give him another chance and trust God that our future will be bright? Please help..I don’t know what to do!!
